A Beginner’s Guide to Mastering Deep Reinforcement Learning in 2024
Reinforcement Learning (RL) stands as a distinct machine learning algorithm, positioned between supervised and unsupervised learning. It doesn’t strictly fit into the category of supervised learning as it doesn’t solely depend on labeled training data. However, it also differs from unsupervised learning because, in reinforcement learning, the agent seeks to maximize a reward. In pursuit of its primary objective, the RL agent must discern the optimal actions to take in diverse scenarios. Without further ado, let’s learn everything about deep reinforcement learning.

The Beginner’s Guide to Understanding and Monitoring IoT-Enabled Medical Devices
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), or connected healthcare devices, is rapidly growing within the IoT market, projected to hit $176 billion by 2026.Understanding the various uses of IoMT devices is essential for effectively monitoring, managing, and safeguarding them in healthcare. While remote patient monitoring, like tracking heart rate and body temperature, is a common example, there are numerous other applications of IoT in healthcare. This brings us to the topic – IoT-enabled medical devices. IoT-enabled medical devices offer a solution by enabling continuous and automatic monitoring of glucose levels. These devices eliminate the need for manual record-keeping and can alert patients to problematic glucose levels in real time.
