Course Overview

The Reinforcement Learning program focuses on studying the mathematical grounds of reinforcement learning- a psychological phenomenon. Students will explore such concepts and view this learning paradigm in light of AI, research, and psychology. Through this AICTE approved course, learners can avail a verified certificate that validates their newly acquired expertise and acquired skills.

Spread across 12 weeks, the Reinforcement Learning certification syllabus is replete with learning modules, books, and research references. Students may proceed to the next module after completing the previous week’s topics. The curriculum highlights bandit algorithms, function approximation, hierarchical RL, and much more. It is an elective course based on AI, data science, and computer engineering. 

The Reinforcement Learning online course is developed by IIT Madras. Professor Balaraman Ravindran from the institute instructs the study. For the certification, students need to write a proctored examination after completing the course and assignments. This certificate will carry logos of IIT Madras and NPTEL, which is verifiable on NPTEL’s website.
