When I click on this URL I get redirected to the homepage, does it mean it is not published yet? Is there a way I can see it anyway?

Looking forward to the DQN chapter.
Coming from the MITx’s McroMasters series on Stats and Probability a year ago, I can still understand (mostly) what’s going on.
Great work. Thank you.

For convenience, these 2 functions should make it easy to switch into 8x8. Param “size” expects either “4x4” or “8x8”. These 2 functions exist within torch: i just copied them out and adapted for my own use.
Everything else kept the same: A 4 times increase in lake area resulted in an increase of iterations (to reach something usable), from 256 to about 17000, a 66 times increase. Even then, the bottom left area is clearly not optimal.

Thank you for the feedback and glad that you found our RL chapters useful.
Sure, DQN will be coming in a few weeks.
Yes, the number of training steps increases as state space gets larger. epsilon and alpha might need to be changed for a larger version of this problem. In general, model-free methods have very high sample complexity.
We’ll definitely make our codes more flexible so it can better visualize larger size grids. Also, thank you for your code snippet.

Glad to know that DQN is on the way! Thanks for your contribution.
May I know what you will or plan to present in the whole RL chapter for the final version? That will be helpful since I would like to schedule or learn in advance.
