Reinforcement Learning for Poverty Alleviation Programs

This repository contains the code and resources for Day 22 of the 100 Days of Machine Learning Challenge. Implemented a Q-learning algorithm to optimize resource allocation for poverty alleviation programs.

Overview

The goal of this project is to develop a decision-making model that helps optimize resource allocation for poverty alleviation programs. Used Reinforcement Learning (RL), a branch of machine learning that focuses on training agents to make decisions by interacting with an environment. The agent learns to allocate resources in a way that maximizes poverty reduction.

Dependencies

Python 3.x
NumPy

Project Structure

The main components of the project are:

  1. 'PovertyEnv': A simplified environment that simulates regions in need and provides the agent with rewards based on its actions (resource allocations).
  2. 'QLearningAgent': An RL agent that learns how to make decisions by interacting with the 'PovertyEnv' environment and updating its Q-table.
  3. Training: A script that trains the Q-learning agent through multiple episodes, allowing it to learn and improve its decision-making abilities.
  4. Testing: A script that tests the agent's performance after training and ensures that it has learned from its interactions with the environment.
