Introduction1:04
Learn deep q-learning by solving the taxi environment in the gym library, build deep networks, and optimize them using the adam optimizer and bellman equation.

1 Analize the map14:57
Analyze the taxi map to define a 500-state environment with six actions, including pick up and drop off, and outline a 2-layer neural network trained with Bellman equations.
2 Define the Model13:47
Define a deep q-learning model for the taxi environment, using gym, pytorch, and dqn architecture; learn neural network layers, weights, biases, and epsilon-greedy training.
3 Forward Function13:25
Learn how a PyTorch forward function transforms a 500-element input into a six-value output through two linear layers, weights, and biases, enabling deep q-learning in the taxi world.
4 Define Hyperparameters13:07
Define hyperparameters for a deep q-learning taxi agent, including learning rate, gamma, minibatch size, and the Adam optimizer, to train and evaluate the model.
5 Create Taxi instance10:22
Create a taxi environment with gym.make taxi, select render mode none for fast training, and build a DQN agent using a dag replay buffer, Adam optimizer, and epsilon decay.
6 Understand the Math of ADAM OPTIMIZER40:24
Explore how the Adam optimizer updates weights and biases to minimize mean squared error in deep q-learning, using adaptive moment estimation, RMSprop and momentum.
7 Select action based on epsilon-greedy18:36
Select actions with epsilon-greedy to balance exploration and exploitation, train on stored experiences via minibatch, and decay epsilon as the win condition guides learning in the taxi world.
8 Execute action18:41
Learn how deep q-learning executes actions in the taxi world by building a one-hot state input, selecting actions with argmax, stepping the gym environment, and training using memory and mini-batches.
9 Test the model14:24
test the taxi deep q-learning model by running episodes with model-driven actions, up to 20 steps, terminating on success, and track 1000 tests to validate training and save the model.
10 Run optimizer26:36
Train a deep q-network using experience memory and random minibatches, emphasizing win moments to speed optimization through the Bellman equation and mse loss.
11 Train and see the result11:51
Train a deep q-learning model using the DQN in the taxi world, monitor finish conditions, save and load trained weights, and evaluate performance across multiple episodes with actions.
