Advantage and disadvantages of using Actor Critic over DDQN
<p>I am new to reinforcement learning and I read about these two algorithms Actor Critic and DDQN. I found that both of these gives fairly good results. But because two algos are totally different so I want to know that where I should prefer actor critic and where DDQN should be preferred. Also what are the advantages and disadvantages of actor critic over DDQN.</p>
