mpatacchiola/dissecting-reinforcement-learning

• highreadme#1

  Reposition README opening to emphasize educational value and fundamental understanding

  Why:

  CURRENT

  This repository contains the code and pdf of a series of blog post called "dissecting reinforcement learning" which I published on my blog mpatacchiola.io/blog. Moreover there are links to resources that can be useful for a reinforcement learning practitioner.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  This repository provides a comprehensive educational resource for **dissecting and understanding reinforcement learning fundamentals**, featuring minimalist Python code examples, accompanying PDFs, and curated resources from a blog series. It's ideal for learners, practitioners, and researchers seeking clear, NumPy-based implementations of core RL algorithms.
