Value iteration is a dynamic programming algorithm used to determine the optimal policy and value function in Markov decision processes (MDPs). It operates by repeatedly updating value estimates for each state until convergence, allowing for the identification of the most rewarding actions over time based on transition probabilities. This technique is crucial for solving problems where outcomes are partly random and partly under the control of a decision-maker.
congrats on reading the definition of Value Iteration. now let's actually learn it.
