What is a Deep Q-Network?
In Q-learning, a deep neural network that predicts Q-functions.
Deep Q-Network explained in plain English
In Q-learning, a deep neural network that predicts Q-functions. Critic is a synonym for Deep Q-Network.
Example
Practitioners refer to deep q-network when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
