MAI4CAREU - Machine Learning: Markov Decision Processes and Dynamic Programming

The University of Cyprus's MSc Artificial Intelligence is part of the Master programmes in Artificial Intelligence 4 Careers in Europe (MAI4CAREU). One of Master's programme's courses, MAI612 - Machine Learning is split up into several lectures. Taught by Vassilis Vassiliades, PhD, the seventeenth lecture of the MAI612 - Machine Learning course focuses on Markov Decision Processes and Dynamic Programming.

Learning outcomes

  • How to formalize the RL problem using the framework of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs)
  • What value functions are and how they relate with the objectives in an MDP
  • Two classes of RL problems: prediction and control
  • How to use the Bellman Equations to solve RL problems
  • Dynamic programming and the value iteration and policy iteration algorithms for finding solutions to MDPs
