A Complete Reinforcement Learning System (Capstone)
In this final course, you will put together your knowledge from Courses 1, 2 and 3 to implement a complete RL solution to a problem. This capstone will let you see how each component---problem formulation, algorithm selection, parameter selection and representation design---fits together into a complete solution, and how to make appropriate choices when deploying RL in the real world. This project will require you to implement both the environment to stimulate your problem, and a control agent with Neural Network function approximation. In addition, you will conduct a scientific study of your learning system to develop your ability to assess the robustness of RL agents. To use RL in the real world, it is critical to (a) appropriately formalize the problem as an MDP, (b) select appropriate algorithms, (c ) identify what choices in your implementation will have large impacts on performance and (d) validate the expected behaviour of your algorithms. This capstone is valuable for anyone who is planning on using RL to solve real problems. To be successful in this course, you will need to have completed Courses 1, 2, and 3 of this Specialization or the equivalent. By the end of this course, you will be able to: Complete an RL solution to a problem, starting from problem formulation, appropriate algorithm selection and implementation and empirical study into the effectiveness of the solution.

Urbanization and Development: Practice, Theory, and Policy
Welcome to the Urbanization and Development: Practice, Theory, and Policy course! The 21st century is an urban century. The UN estimates show that more than half the global population lives in cities. More than two-thirds of the global population is expected to be in cities by 2050 and this will be concentrated in cities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The UN projects that India and China, the two populous countries, will have nearly 700 million inhabitants in their cities. Yet, these Indian and Chinese cities have some high levels of inequality and competing interests over physical, economic, and political spaces. This course examines what makes cities contradictory spaces of work, residence, and play that enable the release of creative energies, aspirations, and economies yet simultaneously restrict, control, and confine. Since the mid-nineties, the Indian and the Chinese State have attempted to transform the city spaces to attract globally connected corporate economies. While government agencies attempt to shape city spaces through policies, mega urban development projects, new laws, and institutions, not all these efforts follow a designed trajectory. The attempt to transform urban spaces is often incomplete, and the resistance or subversion from court cases, as well as the contradictions within the government, shape the project’s unpredictable trajectory. Perhaps, a challenge confronting every policymaker is the dynamic nature of city territories and the difficulty in predicting or controlling the actions of diverse actors. The course will specifically examine the practices by which urban spaces are constituted and used, the role of actors and institutions, law in letter and practice, and the effects on social justice and inequality. Further, you will explore the fit between city practices and policies and theories undergirding policies. You will also learn about the actual practices on the ground and mobilizing case studies of existing practices to critically engage with diverse theoretical perspectives—ranging from the Chicago school of urbanism and Marxism to the new urban economics and the emerging southern theories on cities.

Introduction to the Threat Intelligence Lifecycle
Today, we are faced with the increasing challenges of dealing with more aggressive and persistent threat actors, while being inundated with information, which is full of misinformation and false flags across multiple, unconnected systems. With information coming from such a wide variety of sources, how do you tell what is reliable and actionable, and what isn't? The Threat Intelligence lifecycle is the planning, collecting, processing, analyzing, and disseminating of information to help mitigate potential attacks and harmful events by treat actors. In this course, you will learn to: - Describe the different phases of the Threat Intelligence lifecycle - Explain the levels of information - Identify different intelligence data sources - Explain procedures and techniques used to process and analyze information - Discuss distributing intelligence to different audiences
