In this chapter, we delve into Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), a type of neural network particularly well-suited for handling sequential data. RNNs are unique in their ability to maintain a 'memory' of previous inputs through loops within their architecture, which is essential for capturing temporal dependencies. This makes them ideal for various applications such as time series analysis, audio processing, and natural language processing. Specific tasks where RNNs excel include binary. classification, sentiment analysis, image captioning, and machine translation

In this chapter, we delve into the concept of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). DRL merges reinforcement learning (RL) with deep learning, enabling agents to make decisions and learn policies for complex tasks. Unlike traditional RL, which relies on hand-crafted features, DRL uses neural networks to automatically learn representations. This allows agents to handle high-dimensional state spaces, such as those found in video games or robotic control. Through the combination of deep neural networks and reward-based learning, DRL has achieved remarkable successes, including mastering games like Go and complex robotic manipulations.
