TensorFlow 2 Reinforcement Learning Cookbook

Discover recipes for developing AI applications to solve a variety of real-world business problems using reinforcement learningKey FeaturesDevelop and deploy deep reinforcement learning-based solutions to production pipelines products and servicesExplore popular reinforcement learning algorithms such as Q-learning SARSA and the actor-critic methodCustomize and build RL-based applications for performing real-world tasksBook DescriptionWith deep reinforcement learning you can build intelligent agents products and services that can go beyond computer vision or perception to perform actions. TensorFlow 2.x is the latest major release of the most popular deep learning framework used to develop and train deep neural networks (DNNs). This book contains easy-to-follow recipes for leveraging TensorFlow 2.x to develop artificial intelligence applications.Starting with an introduction to the fundamentals of deep reinforcement learning and TensorFlow 2.x the book covers OpenAI Gym model-based RL model-free RL and how to develop basic agents. Youll discover how to implement advanced deep reinforcement learning algorithms such as actor-critic deep deterministic policy gradients deep-Q networks proximal policy optimization and deep recurrent Q-networks for training your RL agents. As you advance you’ll explore the applications of reinforcement learning by building cryptocurrency trading agents stock/share trading agents and intelligent agents for automating task completion. Finally youll find out how to deploy deep reinforcement learning agents to the cloud and build cross-platform apps using TensorFlow 2.x.By the end of this TensorFlow book youll have gained a solid understanding of deep reinforcement learning algorithms and their implementations from scratch.What you will learnBuild deep reinforcement learning agents from scratch using the all-new TensorFlow 2.x and Keras APIImplement state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning algorithms using minimal codeBuild train and package deep RL agents for cryptocurrency and stock tradingDeploy RL agents to the cloud and edge to test them by creating desktop web and mobile apps and cloud servicesSpeed up agent development using distributed DNN model trainingExplore distributed deep RL architectures and discover opportunities in AIaaS (AI as a Service)Who this book is forThe book is for machine learning application developers AI and applied AI researchers data scientists deep learning practitioners and students with a basic understanding of reinforcement learning concepts who want to build train and deploy their own reinforcement learning systems from scratch using TensorFlow 2.x.
