Abstract
Artificial intelligence has made impressive progress in recent years, with breakthroughs achieved in areas such as image recognition, natural language processing, and playing games. In particular, reinforcement learning, a type of machine learning that focuses on learning by interacting with an environment, has led to remarkable achievements in the field.
