Reinforcement learning (RL), is enabling exciting advancements in self-driving vehicles, natural language processing, automated supply chain management, financial investment software, and more. In this three-day course, you will acquire the theoretical frameworks and practical tools you need to use RL to solve big problems for your organization. 

This course may be taken individually or as part of the Professional Certificate Program in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence. COMPLETING THE COURSE WILL CONTRIBUTE 3 DAYS TOWARDS THE CERTIFICATE.

Course Overview

Understand if RL can solve the big problems of your organization. Acquire the theoretical framework and basic tools for implementing RL.

Join professionals from around the world to upgrade your machine learning (ML) toolkit in this three-day RL bootcamp. Through interactive lectures and hands-on exercises, you will (i) understand the difference between supervised learning and RL; (ii)  be able to gauge which problems in your organization can be solved using RL; (iii) gain a solid understanding of state-of-the-art Deep RL algorithms; (iv) ability to cast your favorite challenge into the RL framework and recognize the promise and limitations of RL through a hands-on-session and live RL clinic; (v) be able to reason about which RL algorithm is most appropriate for the problem at hand.
  
This program includes the unique opportunity to present your organization’s specific technological challenges to MIT faculty during a live RL Clinic—a session designed to help you identify if RL can be used to solve your problems, determine which approach will be most effective, and design RL applications to resolve the issue. During this process, you will draw on the expertise of the course teaching team, which is comprised of recognized industry experts with experience working at 12 firms across multiple industries, from both startups
and big tech.
