Other Projects

Reimplementing simple policy gradient methods like REINFORCE and one-step Actor-Critic on OpenAI gym environments

Created a flexible GridWorld environment in python to run tabular Reinforcement Learning algorithms such as Dynamic programming, Tabular Temporal Differencing (TD) and Monte Carlo methods.

In class Kaggle competition to classify the largest digit within an image with multiple digits. This work was done with Daoud Piracha.
