Deep learning and mathematical optimization methods are becoming indispensable technologies for industry and society. These technologies are not limited to specific fields, but have general-purpose characteristics, and are expected to be applied to a wide range of fields in the future.
In this lecture, we will first understand reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning. At the same time, we will understand optimization methods such as mathematical programming and meta-heuristics. Finally, we will understand the characteristics of quantum computing and its technological development trends.
In this course, even beginners of machine learning and mathematical programming will be able to learn easily, and learn the principles of algorithms and the ability to implement simple methods based on the application examples of each method.
By taking this lecture, students will be able to understand and acquire the followings:
(1) Understand the development history and application scope of deep reinforcement learning.
(2) To understand the basics of mathematical programming and metaheuristics.
(3) To understand the outline of current quantum computing technology.
