To run the Jupyter notebooks in Binder press:
The goal of this series is to implement and test a couple of different approaches to training a computer how to play Tic Tac Toe. We will create:
- A player that plays completely randomly,
- Two players that implement simple forms of the Min-Max algorithm,
- Several players that we will train through Reinforcement Learning:
- a Tabular Q-Learning player.
- a Simple Neural Network Q-Learning player.
- a Deep Neural Network Q-learning player.
- a Policy Gradient Descent based player.
I assume you are familiar with:
- The rules and basic strategy of playing Tic Tac Toe.
- Basic Python 3 programming and use of a Python IDE or Jupyter Notebooks.
- At least rudimentary knowledge of Tensorflow and Neural Networks would be helpful, but you might be able to do without (give it a try and if it's too overwhelming do some of the beginner tutorials, and then try again).
