Mastering CartPole with DQN: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Beginners
Mastering CartPole with DQN: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Beginners If you’ve played with reinforcement learning (RL) before, you’ve probably seen the classic CartPole balancing problem. And if you’ve tried solving it with traditional Q-learning, you might have run into some limitations. That’s where DQN — Deep Q-Network — comes in. In this guide, we’ll explain what DQN is, why it was a breakthrough in RL, and how to implement it step-by-step to solve the CartPole-v1 environment using OpenAI Gym and PyTorch. Whether you’re new to RL or ready to level up from Q-tables, this tutorial is for you. ...
