🔍 Overview
RL-Chat is a conversational AI system that integrates reinforcement learning principles to improve large language model (LLM) responses based on feedback signals.
The project explores how conversational quality can be enhanced through reward modelling, feedback loops and iterative policy optimisation. It demonstrates applied reinforcement learning concepts within a practical chatbot framework.
