Hey everyone!
We're excited to invite you to Carrot & Stick, a hands-on Reinforcement Learning Workshop happening this Saturday, March 7, at 2 PM in LA 002.
Ever wondered how AI agents actually learn from their mistakes? This workshop breaks it down in the most intuitive way — rewards, penalties, and a whole lot of trial and error.
Here's what we'll be covering:
RL Basics – Understand how agents interact with environments, collect rewards, and improve over time;
Monte Carlo Methods – Learn how agents estimate value through experience, without needing a model of the world;
Q-Learning – Dive into one of the most popular RL algorithms and see how agents learn optimal decision-making step by step;
and much more!
🦾 Robotic Arm Activity – Put your learning to the test with a hands-on session where you'll apply Q-Learning to control a robotic arm!
No prerequisites needed — whether you're new to AI or just curious about how machines learn, this workshop is built for you. Oh- and make sure to bring your laptop :)
