C. Jaideep Sai 21951A0567 ASSIGNMENT Machine Learning

1. Explain the reason for overfitting and underfitting.

Here's an explanation of the reasons behind overfitting and underfitting:

1. Overfitting:

14 Definition: Overfitting occurs when a machine learning model is too complex and
performs well on the training data but poorly on new, unseen data (test data or
future predictions).

Reasons for Overfitting:

9 1. Model Complexity: When a model has too many parameters relative to the
12 amount of training data, it can memorize the noise and random fluctuations in
the training data rather than learning the underlying patterns.
5 2. Noise Fitting: The model fits the random noise in the training data, which is not
representative of the broader population.
3. Insufficient Training Data: With limited training data, the model may not have
27 enough information to generalize well to new data.
4. Poor Regularization: Inadequate or absent regularization techniques (e.g., L1, L2,
Dropout) allow the model to over-emphasize minor patterns in the training data.

8 Consequence: The overfitted model becomes too specialized to the training data
and fails to generalize well to new, unseen data.

2. Underfitting:

3 Definition: Underfitting occurs when a machine learning model is too simple and
fails to capture the underlying patterns in the training data, resulting in poor
performance on both the training data and new, unseen data.

Page 8 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 9 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

Reasons for Underfitting:

18 1. Model Simplicity: When a model is too simple or has too few parameters, it
cannot capture the complexity of the underlying relationships in the data.
2. Inadequate Features: The model may not have access to relevant features or
sufficient information to make accurate predictions.
3. Insufficient Training: The model may not have been trained for a sufficient
number of iterations or with an appropriate optimization algorithm.
4. High Bias: The model's underlying assumptions or design may be flawed, leading
to high bias and poor fit to the data.

5 Consequence: The underfitted model is too general and fails to capture the signal in
the training data, leading to poor performance on both training and new data.

44 The Ideal Balance: The goal is to find a balance between model complexity and
20 simplicity, ensuring the model generalizes well to new data while capturing the
underlying patterns in the training data. Techniques like cross-validation,
regularization, and hyperparameter tuning can help achieve this balance.

9 2. Explain how high bias and low variance contribute to underfitting.

22 Here's an explanation of how high bias and low variance contribute to underfitting:

9 Underfitting: The Consequence of High Bias and Low Variance

3  Underfitting: The model fails to capture the underlying patterns in the training
data, resulting in poor performance on both the training data and new, unseen
data.

1. High Bias:

Page 9 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 10 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Definition: High bias (or high systematic error) occurs when a

model's simplifying assumptions or design flaws lead to a consistent, systematic
error in its predictions.
 Contribution to Underfitting:
5 o Inability to capture complexity: High bias models are often too simple,
failing to capture the intricate relationships within the data.
54 o Poor fit to training data: The model's biased assumptions result in a poor
fit to the training data, leading to high training error.
o Limited improvement with more data: Adding more training data won't
9 significantly improve the model's performance, as the bias is inherent to
the model's design.
 Example of High Bias:
o Using a linear model to predict a strongly non-linear relationship (e.g.,
predicting house prices based solely on the number of bedrooms).

2. Low Variance:

 Definition: Low variance (or low statistical error) occurs when a model's
predictions are consistently similar, with minimal variation across different
training datasets (of the same size).
 Contribution to Underfitting:
o Lack of adaptability: Low variance models are often too rigid, failing to
47 adapt to the nuances of the training data.
o Insensitivity to training data: The model's predictions are relatively
unchanged by the specific training data, indicating a lack of learning.
o Similar poor performance across datasets: The model will perform
similarly poorly on different training datasets, as its low variance
indicates a lack of responsiveness to the data.
 Example of Low Variance:
o A model that always predicts the same value (e.g., the mean of the target
variable), regardless of the input features.

35 The Interplay between High Bias and Low Variance in Underfitting:

Page 10 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 11 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 High Bias → Poor Fit → Low Variance: A model with high bias will have a poor fit
to the training data. As a result, its predictions will be consistently poor (low
variance), leading to underfitting.
 Low Variance → Inability to Improve → High Bias: A model with low variance
will struggle to improve its predictions, even with more training data. This
inability to adapt is a hallmark of high bias, reinforcing the underfitting issue.

Mitigating Underfitting:

 Address High Bias:

o Increase model complexity (carefully, to avoid overfitting).
o Add relevant features or interactions.
o Use a different, more suitable algorithm.
 Increase Variance (carefully):
o Collect more diverse training data.
o Introduce regularization techniques to balance bias and variance.
o Ensemble methods can help, but be cautious of overfitting.

13 3. Describe the key practical difficulties in applying gradient descent rule and explain
how it is overcomed .

13 Here's a description of the key practical difficulties in applying the Gradient Descent
(GD) rule and how they are overcome:

13 Key Practical Difficulties in Applying Gradient Descent (GD) Rule:

1. 1. Choosing the Optimal Learning Rate (α):

o Difficulty: If α is too high, GD may overshoot the optimum (diverge). If α is
too low, convergence is slow.
o Overcome:
 Line Search: Find the optimal α for each iteration using techniques
like backtracking or exact line search.

Page 11 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 12 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Learning Rate Scheduling: Adjust α according to a predefined

schedule (e.g., decreasing α over time).
 Adaptive Learning Rates: Use algorithms like Adagrad, Adam, or
RMSprop, which adapt α for each parameter.
2. 2. Saddle Points and Local Minima:
o Difficulty: GD may converge to a local minimum or get stuck in a saddle
point, rather than the global minimum.
o Overcome:
 Initialization Techniques: Use multiple initializations to increase
the chances of finding the global minimum.
 Momentum: Add a momentum term to help escape local minima
and saddle points.
7  Second-Order Methods: Use Newton's method or Quasi-Newton
methods (e.g., BFGS), which can escape saddle points more
effectively.
3. 3. Non-Stationary or Non-Convex Objectives:
o Difficulty: GD assumes a stationary and convex objective function. Non-
stationary or non-convex functions can lead to suboptimal convergence.
o Overcome:
 Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD): Use SGD to handle non-
stationary objectives by approximating the gradient with a single
sample.
 Regularization Techniques: Add regularization terms (e.g., L1, L2)
to encourage convexity.
 Alternate Optimizers: Consider using optimizers designed for non-
convex problems, such as the Limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS).
4. 4. High-Dimensional Parameter Spaces:
o Difficulty: GD can be computationally expensive and prone to overfitting
in high-dimensional spaces.
o Overcome:
41  Dimensionality Reduction: Apply techniques like PCA, t-SNE, or
autoencoders to reduce the parameter space.

Page 12 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 13 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Sparse Gradient Updates: Use sparse updates (e.g., Adagrad,

Adam) to focus on the most important parameters.
 Distributed Optimization: Distribute the computation across
multiple machines to speed up the process.
5. 5. Computational Cost:
o Difficulty: Computing the gradient can be expensive, especially for large
datasets.
o Overcome:
18  Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD): Approximate the gradient
using a single sample or a mini-batch.
 Gradient Approximation: Use techniques like gradient
checkpointing or quantized gradients to reduce computation.

Additional Strategies to Enhance Gradient Descent:

 Gradient Clipping: Clip gradients to prevent exploding gradients.

 Early Stopping: Stop training when the validation error plateaus.
20  Batch Normalization: Normalize inputs to each layer to improve stability.
 Warm Restarts: Periodically restart the optimizer with a modified learning rate
schedule.

4. Define Perceptron. State the output function. List out some of the applications of ANN.

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Definition of Perceptron:

4 A Perceptron is a type of artificial neural network (ANN) that consists of a single

layer of interconnected nodes or "neurons." It is a simple, feedforward network that
12 takes in one or more inputs, performs a computation on those inputs, and produces
an output. The Perceptron is a binary classifier, meaning it can only output one of
two possible values (e.g., 0 or 1, yes or no).

Page 13 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 14 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

Key Components of a Perceptron:

 Input Layer: One or more input nodes that receive the input values.
 Weights: Each input node is connected to the output node through a weighted
connection.
 Bias: An additional input with a fixed value (usually 1) that helps the Perceptron
learn more complex patterns.
 Output Layer: A single output node that generates the final output.

2. Output Function of Perceptron:

42 The output of a Perceptron is determined by the following output function:

Output (y) = Activation Function (φ) of (Weighted Sum of Inputs + Bias)

Mathematically, this can be represented as:

y = φ (Σ (wi * xi) + b)

Where:

 y: Output of the Perceptron (0 or 1)

38  φ: Activation Function (e.g., Heaviside Step Function, Sigmoid Function)
26  wi: Weight of the i-th input
 xi: i-th input value
 b: Bias value
 Σ: Summation of the weighted inputs and bias

Common Activation Functions for Perceptron:

19  Heaviside Step Function (Threshold Function): Outputs 1 if the weighted sum is

greater than a threshold, 0 otherwise.
19  Sigmoid Function: Outputs a value between 0 and 1, depending on the weighted
sum.

45 3. Applications of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs):

 Page 15 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

Here are some examples of the many applications of ANNs, including Perceptrons
and more complex networks:

27  Computer Vision:
o Image Classification (e.g., object detection, facial recognition)
o Image Segmentation (e.g., self-driving cars, medical imaging)
o Object Detection (e.g., surveillance, robotics)
 Natural Language Processing (NLP):
o Sentiment Analysis (e.g., text classification, opinion mining)
o Language Translation (e.g., Google Translate)
o Speech Recognition (e.g., virtual assistants, voice-controlled interfaces)
 Predictive Analytics:
43 o Time Series Forecasting (e.g., stock prices, weather)
o Recommendation Systems (e.g., product suggestions, content
personalization)
o Anomaly Detection (e.g., fraud detection, network security)
 Gaming and Robotics:
o Game Playing Agents (e.g., AlphaGo, poker bots)
o Robotics Control (e.g., autonomous vehicles, robotic arms)
 Healthcare and Medicine:
o Disease Diagnosis (e.g., cancer detection, medical imaging analysis)
o Personalized Medicine (e.g., tailored treatment plans)
o Medical Research (e.g., drug discovery, genomics analysis)

5. Describe The Vapnik-Chervonenkis Dimension in space complexity for infinte

hypothesis spaces.

39 Here's a detailed description of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) Dimension in the

context of space complexity for infinite hypothesis spaces:

21 What is VC Dimension?

Page 15 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 16 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) Dimension is a measure of

the capacity or complexity of a hypothesis space (or a set of functions) in the
16 context of statistical learning theory. It was introduced by Vladimir Vapnik and
Alexey Chervonenkis in the 1960s. The VC Dimension helps quantify the ability of a
33 hypothesis space to shatter (or perfectly classify) any possible labeling of a set of
points in the input space.

Formal Definition:

6 Given a hypothesis space H (a set of functions) and a set of n points X = {x₁, x₂,
25 ..., xₙ } in the input space, we say that H shatters X if for every possible labeling Y =
32
25 {y₁, y₂, ..., yₙ } of the points in X, there exists a function h ∈ H such that h(xᵢ) = yᵢ for
all i = 1, 2, ..., n.

15 The VC Dimension of H, denoted by VC(H), is the largest integer n such that there
exists a set of n points X that can be shattered by H. If no such largest integer exists
51 (i.e., H can shatter arbitrarily large sets of points), then VC(H) is said to be infinite.

Infinite Hypothesis Spaces and VC Dimension:

When dealing with infinite hypothesis spaces, the VC Dimension can be:

 Finite: If the hypothesis space has a finite VC Dimension, it implies that there is a
limit to the complexity of the functions in the space. Examples include linear
classifiers in a fixed-dimensional space.
 Infinite: If the hypothesis space has an infinite VC Dimension, it means that the
space can shatter arbitrarily large sets of points. This often occurs in:
o Non-parametric models (e.g., decision trees, neural networks with an
unbounded number of layers or units)
o Models with an infinite number of parameters (e.g., some types of kernel
machines)

Implications of Infinite VC Dimension:

8 An infinite VC Dimension in an infinite hypothesis space can lead to:

Page 16 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 17 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

8  Overfitting: The model may become too specialized to the training data and fail
to generalize well to new, unseen data.
5  Lack of Uniform Convergence: The model's performance on the training set may
not guarantee good performance on the test set, even with an infinite amount of
training data.

Mitigating Infinite VC Dimension:

To address the issues associated with an infinite VC Dimension:

 Regularization Techniques: Apply regularization methods (e.g., L1, L2, Dropout)

53 to reduce the model's capacity and prevent overfitting.
23  Early Stopping: Stop training when the model's performance on the validation
set starts to degrade.
 Model Selection: Choose a model with a finite VC Dimension or use techniques
22 like cross-validation to select the best model among a set of candidates.

46 Space Complexity and VC Dimension:

The VC Dimension is closely related to the space complexity of a hypothesis space.

Informally, the space complexity refers to the amount of "space" or "capacity"
required to store or represent all possible functions in the hypothesis space.

 Finite VC Dimension: Implies a bounded space complexity, as there is a limit to

the number of functions that can be represented.
 Infinite VC Dimension: Indicates an unbounded space complexity, as the
hypothesis space can represent an arbitrarily large number of functions.

6. Discuss about Bayesian Theory and Bayesian Network in detail.

Here's a detailed discussion on Bayesian Theory and Bayesian Networks:

Bayesian Theory:

Page 17 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 18 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

4  Definition: Bayesian Theory, also known as Bayesian Inference or Bayesian

Statistics, is a statistical framework for updating the probability of a hypothesis
based on new evidence or data. It's named after Thomas Bayes, who first
introduced the concept in the 18th century.
 Key Components:
28 1. Prior Probability (P(H)): The initial probability of a hypothesis (H) before
observing new data.
2 2. Likelihood (P(D|H)): The probability of observing the new data (D) given
the hypothesis (H).
3. Posterior Probability (P(H|D)): The updated probability of the hypothesis
(H) after observing the new data (D).
 Bayes' Theorem:
2 o Formula: P(H|D) = P(D|H) * P(H) / P(D)
17 o Interpretation: The posterior probability of a hypothesis is proportional
to the product of the likelihood and the prior probability, normalized by
the probability of the data.

Bayesian Network (BN):

11  Definition: A Bayesian Network is a probabilistic graphical model that represents

a set of variables and their conditional dependencies via a directed acyclic graph
(DAG).
 Key Components:
1. Nodes (Variables): Represent the variables of interest (e.g., features,
outcomes).
2. Edges (Arrows): Indicate conditional dependencies between nodes (e.g.,
"A influences B").
16 3. Conditional Probability Tables (CPTs): Specify the probability
distributions for each node given its parent nodes.
 Properties:
o Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG): No cycles, ensuring a clear causal direction.
o Conditional Independence: Nodes are independent given their parent
nodes.

Page 18 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 19 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

o Joint Probability Distribution: The network represents the joint

probability distribution over all variables.

How Bayesian Networks Work:

1. Inference: Compute the posterior probability of a node (or a set of nodes) given
evidence (observations) on other nodes.
2. Steps:
o Evidence: Observe values for some nodes.
o Propagation: Update the probabilities of all nodes based on the evidence,
using Bayes' Theorem and CPTs.
o Query: Compute the posterior probability of the node(s) of interest.

Types of Bayesian Networks:

1. Simple Bayesian Network (SBN): A basic BN with a small number of nodes and
edges.
2. Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN): Models temporal relationships between
variables.
3. Hierarchical Bayesian Network (HBN): Organizes nodes into a hierarchical
structure.
4. Hybrid Bayesian Network: Combines discrete and continuous variables.

Applications of Bayesian Networks:

1. Decision Support Systems: Medical diagnosis, financial risk analysis.

2. Predictive Modeling: Forecasting, classification, regression.
3. Recommendation Systems: Personalized suggestions based on user behavior.
4. Natural Language Processing: Sentiment analysis, text classification.
5. Computer Vision: Image segmentation, object recognition.

Advantages of Bayesian Networks:

1. Handling Uncertainty: Explicitly models uncertainty and updates probabilities

based on new evidence.

Page 19 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 20 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

2. Interpretability: Provides a clear, visual representation of relationships between

variables.
3. Flexibility: Can incorporate both discrete and continuous variables.
4. Scalability: Can be applied to large, complex systems.

Challenges and Limitations of Bayesian Networks:

1. Computational Complexity: Inference can be computationally expensive for large

networks.
2. Specifying Priors: Choosing informative prior distributions can be challenging.
3. Model Selection: Selecting the optimal network structure can be difficult.
4. Overfitting: BNs can suffer from overfitting, especially with limited data.

7. Explain the working of case based reasoning classifier.

37 Here's a detailed explanation of the working of a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR)

Classifier:

What is Case-Based Reasoning (CBR)?

49 CBR is a type of machine learning approach that solves new problems by adapting
1 solutions from similar, previously encountered problems (cases). In the context of
48 classification, a CBR classifier uses a database of pre-classified cases to predict the
class label of a new, unseen instance.

Key Components of a CBR Classifier:

50 1. Case Base (Knowledge Base): A database of pre-classified cases, where each case
consists of:
o Features (Attributes): A set of relevant characteristics that describe the
case.
o Class Label (Target Variable): The corresponding class label for each case.

Page 20 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

 Page 21 of 25 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:73257717

2. New Case (Query Case): The unseen instance to be classified, described by its
features.
10 3. Similarity Measure: A function that calculates the similarity between the new
case and cases in the case base.
1 4. Retrieval Module: Retrieves the most similar cases from the case base, based on
the similarity measure.
1 5. Adaptation Module (Optional): Adjusts the solution from the retrieved cases to
better fit the new case.
1 6. Classifier: Predicts the class label for the new case, based on the solutions from
the retrieved cases.

Working of a CBR Classifier:

1. New Case Input: Receive the new, unseen case to be classified.

2. Feature Extraction: Extract the relevant features from the new case.
10 3. Similarity Calculation: Compute the similarity between the new case and each
case in the case base, using the chosen similarity measure (e.g., Euclidean
distance, cosine similarity).
1 4. Case Retrieval: Retrieve the k most similar cases (nearest neighbors) from the
case base, based on the similarity scores.
5. Solution Retrieval: Extract the class labels from the retrieved cases.
6. Classification:
o Simple CBR: Assign the class label that appears most frequently among
the retrieved cases.
34 o Weighted CBR: Assign a weighted average of the class labels, where the
weights are based on the similarity scores.
1 o Adaptive CBR (if adaptation module is used): Adjust the solution from the
retrieved cases to better fit the new case, and then assign the class label.
7. Output: Return the predicted class label for the new case.

small case base.

Challenges and Limitations of CBR Classifiers:

30 1. Case Base Quality: The accuracy of the classifier relies heavily on the quality and
representativeness of the case base.
2. Similarity Measure Selection: Choosing the most effective similarity measure can
be challenging.
3. Scalability: Can become computationally expensive with a large case base.

system.

2 8. Explain radial basis function. List the advantages of radial basis function network.

4 Here's an explanation of Radial Basis Function (RBF) and the advantages of Radial
Basis Function Networks (RBFNs):

4 What is a Radial Basis Function (RBF)?

A Radial Basis Function (RBF) is a mathematical function that calculates the

similarity between an input point and a set of predefined centers (prototypes) in a
high-dimensional space. The output of an RBF is a weighted sum of the distances

between the input point and each center, where the weights are determined by a
non-linear function (typically a Gaussian or exponential function).

Mathematical Formulation of RBF:

6 φ(x) = exp(-γ ||x - c||^2)

Where:

 φ(x) is the RBF output

 x is the input point
 c is the center (prototype)
 γ is a scaling factor (controlling the spread of the function)
 ||.|| denotes the Euclidean distance

24 Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN):

An RBFN is a type of neural network that uses RBFs as the activation functions in
the hidden layer. The architecture of an RBFN typically consists of:

31 1. Input Layer: Receives the input data

2. Hidden Layer (RBF Layer): Applies the RBF to each input, using multiple centers
(prototypes)
6 3. Output Layer: Computes a linear combination of the RBF outputs to produce the
final output

Advantages of Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs):

6 1. Universal Approximation: RBFNs are universal approximators, meaning they can

approximate any continuous function on a compact subset of the input space.
2. Fast Training: RBFNs typically require less training time compared to other
neural network architectures, such as Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs).
3. Simple Implementation: RBFNs have a relatively simple architecture and are
easy to implement.
4. Interpretability: The RBFs in the hidden layer can provide insight into the
importance of each input feature.

5. Robust to Noise: RBFNs can be more robust to noisy data due to the smoothing
effect of the RBFs.
2 6. Non-Linear Mapping: RBFNs can perform non-linear mapping between the input
and output spaces.
52 7. Localized Learning: RBFNs can focus on local patterns in the data, reducing the
impact of outliers.
8. Suitable for High-Dimensional Data: RBFNs can handle high-dimensional data
with a relatively small number of hidden units.

Common Applications of RBFNs:

1. Function Approximation
2. Classification
3. Regression
4. Time Series Prediction
5. Image and Signal Processing
6. Control Systems

29 9. Describe the four main elements of reinforcement learning.

Here are the four main elements of Reinforcement Learning (RL):

1. Agent: * Definition: The Agent is the decision-making entity that interacts with
the Environment. * Role: The Agent observes the Environment, takes Actions, and
receives Rewards or Penalties. * Goal: The Agent's objective is to learn a Policy that
maximizes the cumulative Reward over time.

2. Environment: * Definition: The Environment is the external world that the Agent
interacts with. * Role: The Environment receives Actions from the Agent, transitions
to a new State, and provides Rewards or Penalties. * Characteristics: The
Environment can be fully or partially observable, deterministic or stochastic, and
episodic or continuous.

3. Actions (A): * Definition: Actions are the decisions made by the Agent to interact
with the Environment. * Role: Actions influence the Environment's State and the
Reward received by the Agent. * Types: Actions can be discrete (e.g., up, down, left,
right) or continuous (e.g., acceleration, steering).

4. Reward Signal (R): * Definition: The Reward Signal is a feedback mechanism that
evaluates the Agent's Actions. * Role: The Reward Signal guides the Agent to learn a
Policy that maximizes the cumulative Reward. * Characteristics: Rewards can be:
+ Positive (encouraging desired behavior) + Negative (discouraging undesired
behavior) + Sparse (provided occasionally, e.g., only when a goal is achieved)
+ Dense (provided frequently, e.g., at every time step)

Additional Key Concepts:

40  State (S): The current situation or status of the Environment.

7  Policy (π): The Agent's decision-making strategy, mapping States to Actions.
 Value Function (V): Estimates the expected cumulative Reward for a given State
or Action.
 Q-Function (Q): Estimates the expected cumulative Reward for a given State-
Action pair.

Reinforcement Learning Workflow:

1. The Agent observes the Environment's State (S).

2. The Agent selects an Action (A) based on its Policy (π).
3. The Environment transitions to a new State (S') and provides a Reward (R).
4. The Agent updates its Policy (π) and Value Function (V) or Q-Function (Q) based
on the experience.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to improve the Agent's decision-making over time.
