Smart building with intelligent indoor lighting control system using reinforcement learning simulations by Chan, Keno Jia Nuo

“…The control agents will be trained by Q-learning, which is a model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, and simulated with three different lighting preference profiles from three different occupants. To obtain the ideal learning parameter of the proposed control system, different learning parameters, such as ε – greedy value, max steps per episode, learning rate α, and discount rate γ, will be used to test the ideal learning conditions for this study. …”
