Intuitive RL: Intro to Advantage-Actor-Critic (A2C)

Reinforcement learning (RL) practitioners have produced a number of excellent tutorials. Most, however, describe RL in terms of mathematical equations and abstract diagrams. We like to think of the field from a different perspective. RL itself is inspired by how animals learn, so why not translate the underlying RL machinery back into the natural phenomena they’re designed to mimic? Humans learn best through stories.
