What is target network?
A copy of a neural network used to provide stable targets for training another network
target network explained in plain English
Analogy
Think of a target network like a blueprint for a house. Just as a blueprint provides a stable plan for building a house, a target network provides a stable target for the training of another network.
Example
Target networks are used in training autonomous vehicles to learn how to drive safely. The target network provides a stable target for the training of the vehicle's control system.
How is target network used?
Common misconceptions about target network
History
The concept of target networks was introduced in the paper 'Human-level control through deep reinforcement learning' by Mnih et al. in 2015.
