Supervised learning has initially been successful in prediction and classification tasks, but is not brain-like. This book is on reinforcement learning which involves performing actions to achieve a goal. Brain-like computation is about processing and interpreting data or directly putting forward and performing actions. Applications.īrains rule the world, and brain-like computation is increasingly used in computers and electronic devices.
