Practice assignment

Instant dive in: seminar_gym_interface, crossentropy_method, deep_crossentropy_method

  • Open gym_interface.ipynb and follow instructions from there
  • After you're done there, proceed to crossentropy_method.ipynb
  • You can find homework and bonus assignment descriptions at the end of that notebook.
  • Note: so far it's enough to say pip install gym on top of any data-science-stuffed python, but we'd appreciate if you gradually switch to full installation.
