Course Description

The Reinforcement learning specialization includes 4 courses that explore the power of adaptive learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Adaptive learning systems are required to harness the full potential of artificial Intelligence. Through trial-and-error interaction, learn how Reinforcement Learning solutions (RL) help solve real-world problems. Then implement a complete RL solution. This Specialization will prepare learners to understand the fundamentals of probabilistic AI (AI), and to be able to apply AI tools to real-world problems. This content will be focused on small-scale problems to help students understand Reinforcement Learning as taught by world-renowned scientists at the University of Alberta Faculty of Science. This Specialization will teach you how to use the tools in game development (AI), customer interaction (how websites interact with customers), smart assistants and recommender systems.
