- wegfawefgawefg 2y agoThe sutton and barto book is often given as an introductory ai book to people with no experience in ai or rl. This is unfortunate as it functions as neither a good rl book nor a good ai book. Wheras the introductory book Grokking Deep Learning walks you through implementing your own pytorch, and has a portion about rl near the end, then has a follow up book on rl, and it is trivial to have your own from scratch model and framework playing tic tac toe, snake, even without any math skills beyond multiplication. This happens without just smacking the reader with the modified bellman equation, and a bunch of chain rule backwards, and padded paragraphs intended to sell additional versions to universities.
