In Reinforcement Learning, an agent interacts with its environment through a series of discrete _.

  1. Actions

  2. States

  3. Rewards

  4. Episodes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In Reinforcement Learning, the agent takes actions in the environment, which lead to changes in the state of the environment and the receipt of rewards.

The goal of Reinforcement Learning is to find a policy that _.

  1. Maximizes the expected reward

  2. Minimizes the expected loss

  3. Balances exploration and exploitation

  4. Learns from past mistakes


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The objective of Reinforcement Learning is to find a policy that maximizes the expected cumulative reward over time.

In a Markov Decision Process (MDP), the state of the environment is _.

  1. Fully observable

  2. Partially observable

  3. Unobservable

  4. Randomly changing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a Markov Decision Process, the agent has complete knowledge of the state of the environment at any given time.

The value function of a state in an MDP is defined as the _.

  1. Expected cumulative reward from that state

  2. Probability of reaching the goal state from that state

  3. Number of actions available in that state

  4. Entropy of the state distribution


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The value function of a state is the expected cumulative reward that the agent can obtain by starting from that state and following a given policy.

Policy optimization methods in Reinforcement Learning aim to find a policy that _.

  1. Maximizes the expected reward
