Python Belgrade #62: Introduction to Reinforcement Learning with python
Python Belgrade Meetup is for Python enthusiasts and practitioners - to exchange experience for Python development.
Important info:
- Date-Time: 2025.06.27 | 18:00
- Venue: CDT Hub
- Address: Kneza Miloša 12, 11000 Beograd
- Talk: Introduction to Reinforcement Learning with python
- Speaker: Oleg Osipov Senior Data Scientist @ X5 Group
Agenda:
This session is aimed at Python developers and data enthusiasts who want to understand how machines can learn from interaction and improve over time.
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a powerful approach in machine learning where an agent learns by taking actions, observing results, and optimizing for long-term reward. Unlike supervised learning, RL doesn’t rely on labeled data — instead, it learns through experience. In this talk, I’ll walk through the core concepts like agents, environments, policies, and the exploration–exploitation trade-off, using simple Python code to make ideas clear and practical.
We’ll also discuss real-world business use cases where RL is making an impact — from recommendation systems and resource optimization to supply chain and finance.
- What is Reinforcement Learning?
- Core concepts: agent, environment, actions, rewards
- Exploration vs. exploitation
- Live or prepared Python demo
- How RL is used in business
- Resources for further learning
Lightning talks
After the end of the talk we will have 30 minutes of Lightning Talks, where you can join us and share your insights, experiences, ideas, bad jokes, good beer! :)
