The course is co-taught by Leon Schmid. The course 'Deep Reinforcement Learning' teaches students (1) Basics of Reinforcement Learning (~Chapter 1-7 of 'Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction' by Barto&Sutton), (2) covers all important and major (recent) algorithms that combine Reinforcement Learning with Deep Learning for function approximation (including REINFORCE, A2C, A3C, TRPO, PPO, DDPG, TD3, SAC), (3) provides an overview over some major topics of current DRL research and applications, including topics like MARL, Language Emergence, Distributed RL, GamePlay, World Models, etc, and finally (4) accompanies students on creating their own DRL project. The course is graded based on an exam and the final project, furthermore 4 successful homework submissions are required.
