Reinforcement learning 10 Try using a trained neural network.

It is assumed that you have completed reinforcement learning 9. Development uses jupyter notebook. Since VSCode is not used, it is easy to switch.

Chainer RL quick start as it is. First, install matplotlib.

• This is not written in the quick install.

pip install matplotlib

The following is a copy from Jupyter notebook.

Since windows are quite different, I will write them together in Reinforcement Learning 12.

A small summary of up to 10. The chainerrl quickstart was generally good, with some mines here and there. Is chainerrl a wrapper for chainer? It's easy to remodel, and I think it's excellent. I will use tensorflow in the future, but for the time being, I think I will use chainerrl. Up to about 30, I will do OpenAI gym.

The reason for chainer is that I have high expectations for prefix Networks. There is a system in the United States that rewards researchers such as Google with a large amount of money, but there are few in Japan. An unexplored project that pays research funds as an incubator also has an hourly wage of 1600 yen. The preffered internship is 2500 yen. Moreover, there are various allowances. Here is their seriousness. And the benchmark is always high. I'm looking forward to it in the future.
