CS 285 at UC Berkeley
Deep Reinforcement Learning
Lectures: Mon/Wed 5:30-7 p.m., Online
Lectures will be recorded and provided before the lecture slot. The lecture slot will consist of discussions on the course content covered in the lecture videos.
Piazza is the preferred platform to communicate with the instructors. However, if for some reason you wish to contact the course staff by email, use the following email address: cs285fall2020@googlegroups.com.
Lecture recordings from the current (Fall 2020) offering of the course: watch here
Enrolled students: please use the private link you were provided, not this one!
