      • RL Assignment Q&A
        • For "statistical significance" in 3(c), should we calculate a numerical result or only make some qualitative comments?
        • I sent you a question that you've not answered?
        • In 1. Is it allowed to come up with different games?
        • In 1. the assignment says "Come up with a task, different to the examples given [in the lectures or course book] ... but then it says "Briefly (i) describe the task , e.g play Backgammon" which is in the lectures.
        • In 2, the V or Q values of states 7 or 3 weren't given. Are they needed?
        • In 2. we don't have to update the whole of Table 1?
        • In 3(b) what does "behaviour of a converged policy" mean?
        • In 3(c) I don't want to increase the sample size as the specification says 5.
        • In 3(c) I'm confused due to lack of statistical knowledge.
        • In 3.(b) do you want us to run learning several times?
        • In 3.(b) is it enough just to write down the values for time step 20,000,000 and treat them as the 'limit' values?
        • In 3.(c) can we choose the same set of rewards as in (b)?
        • In Question 1 what about task X?
        • Is it okay to email you the graph?
        • Is there something I need to do to get the visualization working?
    • RL Assignment D
