What's the difference between model-free and model-based reinforcement learning?
What's the difference between model-free and model-based reinforcement learning?
It seems to me that any model-free learner, learning through trial and error, could be reframed as model-based. In ...

How can we estimate the transition model and reward function?
In reinforcement learning (RL), there are model-based and model-free algorithms. In short, model-based algorithms use a transition model (e.g. a probability distribution) and the reward function, even ...
