A Solution to Cartpole using Neural Networks and Tensorflow

Abstract

Machine learning is not quite a new topic for discussion these days. A lot of enthusiasts excel in this field. The problem just lies with the beginners who lack just the right amount of intuition in to step ahead in this field. This paper is all about finding a simple enough solution to this issue through an example problem Cart-Pole an Open AI Gym’s classic Machine Learning algorithm benchmarking tool. The contents here will provide a perception to Machine Learning and will help beginners get familiar with the field quite a lot. Machine Learning techniques like Regression which further includes Linear and Logistic Regression, forming the basics of Neural Networks using familiar terms from Logistic regression would be mentioned here. Along with using TensorFlow, a Google’s project initiative which is widely used today for computational efficiency would be all of the techniques used here to solve the trivial game Cart-Pole.
