Introduction Iterative Policy Improvement (IPI) is an algorithm in reinforcement learning to find the optimal course of action given the enviroment conditions. This blog post explains how it is done using a simple grid world navigating example. It works by iteratively improving an initial policy using the policy evaluation and policy improvement steps. Here’s how

Introduction Bandit problems are the simplest possible reinforcement learning scenario. Here the bandit machine can have k arms and pulling each arm leaves the user a reward. One of the arms will be giving higher rewards in the long run and moreover this pattern could be changing over a time period. Think of the scenario
