Teaching an AI to Play Ping Pong Using OpenAI // 5 python projects in 5 days (ep. 2)

Today, let’s train an AI to play some games! 🤖

I took one Machine Learning class in school, but even after that, I never really branched out in my ML projects beyond plugging in some SciKitLearn packages and crossing my fingers. So, for this project, I wanted to learn something way out of my comfort zone, even if it meant that I couldn't create something completely original. So, I spent a day learning about reinforcement learning and Deep Q Learning, and taught an AI to play some games (with a lot of help). 🙏🏾

🙎🏾‍♀️Who I am: Hey, I’m Harshibar. I'm a recent college grad, and spent the last year working as a Software Engineer in a Silicon Valley biotech startup. Now, I am launching my own company, Hyku — we're transforming admissions consulting through a mentorship-driven program. And, of course, I'm making YouTube videos all about tech, career, and productivity! I also have a little Schnoodle named Yogi who likes to make appearances in videos.
