Then, you will move on to path finding and navigation meshes in Unity, setting up the ML Agents Toolkit (including how to install and set up ML agents from the GitHub repository), and installing fundamental machine learning libraries and frameworks (such as Tensorflow). You will learn about: deep learning and work through an introduction to Tensorflow for writing neural networks (including perceptron, convolution, and LSTM networks), Q learning with Unity ML agents, and porting trained neural network models in Unity through the Python-C# API. You will also explore the OpenAI Gym Environment used throughout the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeep Reinforcement Learning in Unity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e provides a walk-through of the core fundamentals of deep reinforcement learning algorithms, especially variants of the value estimation, advantage, and policy gradient algorithms (including the differences between on and off policy algorithms in reinforcement learning). These core algorithms include actor critic, proximal policy, and deep deterministic policy gradients and its variants. And you will be able to write custom neural networks using the Tensorflow and Keras frameworks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Deep learning in games makes the agents learn how they can perform better and collect their rewards in adverse environments without user interference. The book provides a thorough overview of integrating ML Agents with Unity for deep reinforcement learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand      how deep reinforcement learning works in games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrasp      the fundamentals of deep reinforcement learning \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrate      these fundamentals with the Unity ML Toolkit SDK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain      insights into practical neural networks for training Agent Brain in the      context of Unity ML Agents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate      different models and perform hyper-parameter tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the Brain-Academy architecture in Unity ML Agents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the Python-C# API interface during real-time training of neural networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrasp      the fundamentals of generic neural networks and their variants using      Tensorflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate      simulations and visualize agents playing games in Unity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders with preliminary programming and game development experience in Unity, and those with experience in Python and a general idea of machine learning \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Apress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-12-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781484265024\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4842-6503-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 564\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385531326604,"sku":"9781484265024","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781484265024.jpg?v=1776048674","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781484265024","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
