Beschreibung

Learning Objectives

1.1 Subject-specific Competencies
Students
gain insight into the theory and applications of reinforcement learning
learn to analyze the challenges in a reinforcement learning application and to identify promising
learning approaches.
are able to assess for which problems reinforcement learning is particularly well suited and which
disadvantages exist with regard to this.
understand, explain, and classify relevant basic concepts.


1.2 Methodological Competencies
Students
can evaluate the properties of different learning strategies depending on the problem.
are able to implement selected methods with the programming language. Python and with the help
of suitable frameworks.


1.3 Interdisciplinary Competencies
Students
can evaluate solutions in highly complex environments.
are able to acquire detailed knowledge for solving specific problems on their own.
learn to discuss and derive solutions within a team.
