An Introduction to Reinforcement Learning

A deep dive into the rudiments of reinforcement learning, including model-based and model-free methods Angjelin Hila · Follow Published in Towards Data Science · 34 min read · 3 hours ago — Used on a creative commons license from: https://elifesciences.org/digests/57443/reconstructing-the-brain-of-fruit-flies#copyright What is Reinforcement Learning? One path toward engineering intelligence lies with emulating biological organisms. Biological organisms transduce information from the environment, process it (what cognitive science studies), and output behaviour conducive to survival. Such behaviours,

Why AMD May Skip Over 700 Series Motherboards For Next-Gen AM5 CPUs

Regular HotHardware readers will recall that we reported on the leaked naming scheme for AMD’s next-generation Ryzen processors. At that time, it was thought that AMD’s upcoming chips would be named something like “Ryzen AI 9 HX 170”, but according to more recent leaks, it seems like AMD will instead go with “Ryzen AI 9 HX 270” so that it has processor model number parity with Intel. The latest leak implies that the company will
