An Intuitive Explanation of Naive Bayes Classifier

Introduction In this post, let’s take a look at the intuition behind Naive Bayes Classifier used in machine learning. Naive Bayes classifier is one of the basic algorithms often encountered in machine learning applications. If linear regression was based on concepts from linear algebra and calculus, naive Bayes classifier mostly backed up by probability theory. …

Iterative Policy Evaluation

Iterative Policy Evaluation for Estimating Value Function

Introduction In this tutorial, I am going to code the iterative policy evaluation algotithm from the book “Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction by Andrew Barto and Richard S. Sutton”. I am going to take psuedo code, image and examples from this text. The example I am taking for this tutorial is the gird world maze from Chapter …
