Reinforcement Learning at UCLA IPAM RIPS 2018

This project details a solution OpenAI's CarRacing-v0 game. This model uses a three layer DQN regularized with dropout and using a curriculum learning approach. The trained model exceeds 900 in average score, sufficient to meet the criterion for solution. More information at: https://github.com/openai/gym/wiki/Leaderboard#carracing-v0
