During my time on the bench at work in the summer of 2019, I spent a lot of time teaching myself the principles of reinforcement learning and distilling them down into a one hour talk. You can find the slides for my presentation here. This presentation assumes a basic knowledge of neural networks.

You can also find a recording here of the first of many times I gave this talk. It gets off to a slow start but stick with it and I’m sure you will learn a lot more from the presentation than from the slides alone!
