Control Systems and Reinforcement Learning
«'Control Systems and Reinforcement Learning is a densely packed book with a vivid, conversational style. It speaks both to computer scientists interested in learning about the tools and techniques of control engineers and to control engineers who want to learn about the unique challenges posed by reinforcement learning and how to address these challenges. The author, a world-class researcher in control and probability theory, is not afraid of strong and perhaps controversial opinions, making the book entertaining and attractive for open-minded readers. Everyone interested in the "why" and "how" of RL will use this gem of a book for many years to come.' Csaba Szepesvári, Canada CIFAR AI Chair, University of Alberta, and Head of the Foundations Team at DeepMind»
A high school student can create deep Q-learning code to control her robot, without any understanding of the meaning of 'deep' or 'Q', or why the code sometimes fails. This book is designed to explain the science behind reinforcement learning and optimal control in a way that is accessible to students with a background in calculus and matrix algebra. Les mer

«'This book is a wild ride, from the elements of control through to bleeding-edge topics in reinforcement learning. Aimed at graduate students and very good undergraduates who are willing to invest some effort, the book is a lively read and an important contribution.' Shane G. Henderson, Charles W. Lake, Jr. Chair in Productivity, Cornell University»
«'Reinforcement learning, now the de facto workhorse powering most AI-based algorithms, has deep connections with optimal control and dynamic programing. Meyn explores these connections in a marvelous manner and uses them to develop fast, reliable iterative algorithms for solving RL problems. This excellent, timely book from a leading expert on stochastic optimal control and approximation theory is a must-read for all practitioners in this active research area.' Panagiotis Tsiotras, David and Andrew Lewis Chair and Professor, Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology»
