BSCBT48 GENERATIVE AI-II LAB

1. Develop a Python program that simulates a grid navigation problem using dynamic
programming. Implement a visualization to showcase the agent's optimal path.
2. Build a Python-based Tic-Tac-Toe game where players can compete against an AI agent trained
using the Q Learning algorithm. Test the AI's performance against human players.

3. Create a Python script that calculates state and action value functions for a simple reinforcement
learning scenario. Visualize these functions to understand their impact on decision-making.

4. Craft a presentation explaining the evolution of language models, using examples like AlphaGo
and Boston Dynamics' robots to illustrate their impact on the AI field.
5. Enhance the Q Learning Tic-Tac-Toe agent by incorporating fine-tuning strategies. Compare the
agent's performance with and without these strategies through experimentation.

 6. Develop a user-friendly interface for playing Tic-Tac-Toe against a Q Learning agent. Track the
agent's learning progress over a series of games.

7. Implement a Python program that calculates evaluation metrics to quantify the success of the Q
Learning Tic-Tac-Toe agent's training. Analyze the results to draw insights.

8. Create a visualization tool using Python libraries to depict the Q Learning Tic-Tac-Toe agent's
performance improvement over training episodes.
9. Build a neural network in a deep learning framework to predict Q values for reinforcement
learning tasks. Train and evaluate this network on a simple RL problem.

10. Implement a policy gradient method, such as REINFORCE, using a neural network for a simple
RL environment. Visualize the agent's learning progress and policy changes.
