 # Towards better explorations methods with Curiosity
+
+In this Unit, we'll study in theory **Curiosity in Deep Reinforcement Learning**, a technique used to push our agent to better explore its environment and solve two majors flaws in Deep Reinforcement Learning:
+
+1️⃣ **Sparse rewards environments: environments were most rewards do not contain information, and hence are set to zero.**
+
+For instance, in [Vizdoom environment](https://github.com/mwydmuch/ViZDoom) “DoomMyWayHome,” your agent is only rewarded if it finds the vest. However, the vest is 
+**far away from your starting point, so most of your rewards will be zero**. Therefore, if our agent does not receive useful feedback (dense rewards), it will take much longer to learn an optimal policy and it **can spend time turning around without finding the goal**.
+

+
+2️⃣ **The extrinsic reward function (environment reward function) is handmade, that is in each environment, a human has to implement a reward function. But how we can scale that in big and complex environments?**
+
+Therefore, a solution to these problems is to develop a reward function that is intrinsic to the agent, i.e., generated by the agent itself. The agent will act as a self-learner since it will be the student, but also its own feedback master.
+
+This intrinsic reward mechanism is known as curiosity because this reward push to explore states that are novel/unfamiliar. **In order to achieve that, our agent will receive a high reward when exploring new trajectories.**
+
+We'll see two techniques to create this curiosity, both of them are based on a Paper. 
+
+## Required time ⏱️
+The required time for this unit is, approximately:
+- One hour for the first paper study
+- One hour for the second paper study
+
+## Start this Unit 🚀
+1️⃣ 📖 Read [Curiosity-Driven Learning through Next State Prediction](https://medium.com/data-from-the-trenches/curiosity-driven-learning-through-next-state-prediction-f7f4e2f592fa)
+
+2️⃣ In addition, you should read the paper 👉  https://pathak22.github.io/noreward-rl/
+
+3️⃣ 📖 Read [Random Network Distillation: a new take on Curiosity-Driven Learning](https://medium.com/data-from-the-trenches/curiosity-driven-learning-through-random-network-distillation-488ffd8e5938)
+
+4️⃣ In addition, you should read the paper 👉 https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.12894
+
+## Additional readings 📚
+- [Curiosity and Procrastination in Reinforcement Learning, Google Brain](https://ai.googleblog.com/2018/10/curiosity-and-procrastination-in.html)

+
+## How to make the most of this course
+
+To make the most of the course, my advice is to:
+
+- **Participate in Discord** and join a study group.
+- **Read multiple times** the theory part and takes some notes
+- Don’t just do the colab. When you learn something, try to change the environment, change the parameters and read the libraries' documentation. Have fun 🥳
+- Struggling is **a good thing in learning**. It means that you start to build new skills. Deep RL is a complex topic and it takes time to understand. Try different approaches, use our additional readings, and exchange with classmates on discord.
