Thank you to everyone who attended the workshop A Hands-On Introduction to Reinforcement Learning! Now that you all have had some time to digest the content, I wanted to create a thread where you could ask any further questions, share insights, or discuss how you're applying the concepts to your work. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the thread below! And for your reference, I have attached a PDF version of the workshop presentation slides to this post.
If you were interested in joining the RL workshop but weren't able to attend live (maybe because you were in one of our other fantastic workshops instead!), you can find the workshop hands-on material in this shared MATLAB Drive folder. To access the exercises, simply download the MATLAB Project Archive (.mlproj) file or copy it to your MATLAB Drive, extract the files, and open the project (.prj). Each exercise has its own live script (.mlx file) which contains all the instructions and individual steps for each exercise. Happy (reinforcement) learning!
