**What This Document Is**
This document is the eighth homework assignment for Carnegie Mellon University’s 10-601 Machine Learning course, Fall 2018. It focuses on the practical application of reinforcement learning algorithms to solve a maze problem. It outlines the assignment’s objectives, grading policies, and submission instructions.
**Why This Document Matters**
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in the 10-601 Machine Learning course. It serves as a hands-on exercise to solidify understanding of value iteration and Q-learning. Successful completion contributes to the overall course grade. The assignment is due Friday, November 30th, 2018, at 11:59pm.
**Common Limitations or Challenges**
This document is a task description and does not provide solutions or detailed explanations of the reinforcement learning concepts themselves. Students are expected to have prior knowledge of these algorithms. It also does not include the actual maze data or code templates – those are provided separately via Autolab.
**What This Document Provides**
The document includes:
* A summary of the assignment’s goal: implementing reinforcement learning for maze solving.
* Collaboration and late submission policies.
* Instructions for submitting work via Gradescope and Autolab.
* Details on the software environment for Autolab submissions.
* Information on accessing necessary materials via Autolab ("Download handout").
* Clarification on formatting requirements for different question types.
