DeepMind published its historic paper Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning. They successfully combined deep convolutional neural networks with Q-learning to create the Deep Q-Network (DQN). Operating entirely on raw screen pixels and game score rewards as its only inputs, the agent achieved superhuman performance across seven classic Atari 2600 games, proving connectionist architectures could autonomously learn complex, high-level control policies without human strategic design.
