DEFINITION
Q-learning is a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm that helps an AI agent learn how to make decisions. The agent performs an action, receives a reward or penalty, and learns over time which actions give the best results.
The Q-value estimates the reward available for taking an action in a given state. Through repeated experimentation, Q-values are updated and the agent finds the optimal strategy. It does not need any prior knowledge of the environment.
Importance
- Helps machines train and learn through trial and error.
