Fitted Q and DQN
Deep Q-Learning in Reinforcement Learning
• A Deep Q-Network (DQN) is an algorithm in the field of reinforcement
learning.
• It is a combination of deep neural networks and Q-learning, enabling agents
to learn optimal policies in complex environments.
• While the traditional Q-learning works effectively for environments with a
small and finite number of states, but it struggles with large or continuous
state spaces due to the size of the Q-table.
• This limitation is overruled by Deep Q-Networks by replacing the Q-table with
neural network that can approximate the Q-values for every state-action pair.
