<img src="https://github.com/pdfosborne/elsciRL-Wiki/blob/main/Resources/images/Agent-Performance-2.gif?raw=true" /> </div> **elsciRL (pronounced L-SEE)** offers a general purpose Python library for accelerating the development of language based Reinforcement Learning (RL) solutions. Our novel solution is a framework that allows end users to give instructions to Reinforcement Learning agents without direct supervision. In other words, prior methods required any objectives to be hard coded as rules or shown by demonstration (e.g. if key in inventory then objective reached). This has also been known as *AI agents* but we notably do not require the problem to already contain language. <div align="center" style="font-size:125%"> <p><b>Features</b></p> </div> <div class="card-grid-3" align = "center"> <div class="card" align = "center"> <div class="card-details" align = "center" > <p class="text-title">Accelerates Research</p> <a href="https://elsci.org/Docs+&+Wiki+Guide"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pdfosborne/elsciRL-Wiki/refs/heads/main/Resources/images/elsciRL_logo_owl_reader.png" align="left" height="125" width="125" ></a> </div> <a href="https://elsci.org/Docs+&+Wiki+Guide"><button class="card-button">Wiki & Docs</button></a> </div> <div class="card" align = "center"> <div class="card-details" align = "center"> <p class="text-title">Improves Reproducibility</p> <a href="https://elsci.org/Publications/README"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pdfosborne/elsciRL-Wiki/refs/heads/main/Resources/images/elsciRL_logo_owl_researcher.png" align="left" height="125" width="125" ></a> </div> <a href="https://elsci.org/Publications/README"><button class="card-button">Benchmarking</button></a> </div> </div> <p></p> <div class="card-grid-3" align = "center"> <div class="card" align = "center"> <div class="card-details" align = "center"> <p class="text-title">User Input Interface</p> <a href="https://elsci.org/App+Interface+Guide"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pdfosborne/elsciRL-Wiki/refs/heads/main/Resources/images/elsciRL_logo_owl_doctor.png" align="left" height="125" width="125" ></a> </div> <a href="https://elsci.org/App+Interface+Guide"><button class="card-button">App Interface</button></a> </div> <div class="card" align = "center"> <div class="card-details" align = "center"> <p class="text-title">Enhances New Applications</p> <a href="https://elsci.org/Applications/Applications+Overview"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pdfosborne/elsciRL-Wiki/refs/heads/main/Resources/images/elsciRL_logo_owl_techy.png" align="left" height="125" width="125" ></a> </div> <a href="https://elsci.org/Applications/Applications+Overview"><button class="card-button">Applications</button></a> </div> </div> ---- <div align="center" style="font-size:150%"> <p><b>What is Reinforcement Learning?</b></p> </div> Reinforcement Learning is an Artificial Intelligence methodology that teaches machines how to make decisions and perform actions to achieve a goal. It's based on the idea that machines can learn from their experiences to automate a task without being told exactly what to do, similar to how humans learn through trial and error.
