Research Paper - Main Cover

A comparative analysis of Reinforcement Learning and Depth First Search in solving mazes

Conducted an academic research project analyzing how Reinforcement Learning compares to Depth First Search (DFS) in solving mazes of increasing size and complexity.

PyTorch Pandas NumPy PyMaze

Reinforcement Learning agents were trained using Q-learning, while DFS was applied as a baseline deterministic search algorithm. Performance metrics such as solution time, path length, and computational resources were collected and compared.

Explored the possibilities of using Reinforcement Learning to improve or prove solutions found Mathematically.

Key Features:

- Custom maze generation and simulation framework

- Q-learning based Reinforcement Learning agent

- Visualizations of agent behavior and path optimization

- Performance benchmarking across multiple maze sizes

ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Kevin,I'm currently a student at the University of Indonesia studying Computer Science before I transfer overseas in 2026 to pursue my second Bachelor's Degree in Artifical Intelligence.

I started off like many others, developing silly websites and web apps just for personal use, solving day to day problems I had. Though, I have always been interested in the theory side of Computer Science.

Now I'm most interested in Machine Learning and Quantitative Finance.

Unpopular opinion: Linear Algebra is harder than Discrete Math.
