Everything about Proximal policy optimization

Model-free reinforcement learning algorithm

Proximal policy optimization (PPO) is a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm for training an intelligent agent. Specifically, it is a policy gradient method, often used for deep RL when the policy network is very large. Wikipedia →
