What is Q-Learning?

  1. A reinforcement learning algorithm that learns the optimal policy for a given environment.

  2. A supervised learning algorithm that learns the relationship between input and output data.

  3. An unsupervised learning algorithm that learns the structure of data without any labels.

  4. A generative learning algorithm that learns to generate new data from a given distribution.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Q-Learning is a reinforcement learning algorithm that learns the optimal policy for a given environment by iteratively updating the Q-values of each state-action pair.

What is the goal of Q-Learning?

  1. To maximize the cumulative reward.

  2. To minimize the cumulative loss.

  3. To find the optimal policy.

  4. To learn the structure of the environment.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The goal of Q-Learning is to find the optimal policy, which is the policy that maximizes the cumulative reward.

What is the Q-function?

  1. A function that estimates the expected cumulative reward for taking a given action in a given state.

  2. A function that estimates the expected loss for taking a given action in a given state.

  3. A function that estimates the probability of taking a given action in a given state.

  4. A function that estimates the value of a given state.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Q-function is a function that estimates the expected cumulative reward for taking a given action in a given state.

How does Q-Learning update the Q-values?

  1. By using the Bellman equation.

  2. By using the gradient descent algorithm.

  3. By using the backpropagation algorithm.

  4. By using the k-means algorithm.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Q-Learning updates the Q-values by using the Bellman equation, which is a recursive equation that relates the Q-value of a state-action pair to the Q-values of its successor states.

What is the epsilon-greedy policy?

  1. A policy that always takes the action with the highest Q-value.

  2. A policy that takes the action with the highest Q-value with probability 1 - epsilon and a random action with probability epsilon.

  3. A policy that takes the action with the highest Q-value with probability epsilon and a random action with probability 1 - epsilon.

  4. A policy that takes a random action.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The epsilon-greedy policy is a policy that takes the action with the highest Q-value with probability 1 - epsilon and a random action with probability epsilon.

What is the learning rate in Q-Learning?

  1. The rate at which the Q-values are updated.

  2. The rate at which the epsilon-greedy policy is updated.

  3. The rate at which the environment is updated.

  4. The rate at which the reward function is updated.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The learning rate in Q-Learning is the rate at which the Q-values are updated.

What is the discount factor in Q-Learning?

  1. A factor that controls the importance of future rewards.

  2. A factor that controls the importance of past rewards.

  3. A factor that controls the importance of the current reward.
