From Reinforce to EVMImage by Author. Three robots represent three algorithms that are observed in this article: Reinforce, A2C and EVM (Empirical variance minimization)Reinforcement learning (RL) is an area of machine learning where agents have to learn what actions to take interacting with an environment in order to maximize the cumulative reward. The basic setting is the following: an agent observes the state of the environment, chooses what action to take, gets some reward as a response from the environment, and then…
