Task Identification

• Deterministic vs Stochastic: It's stochastic as while playing soccer the next state of the game cannot be accurately determined by the agent. There are many possible outcomes.
• Episodic vs. Sequential: It's sequential because the action agent takes now will shape the future events of the game. In soccer to score or save a goal, the agent has to perform a sequence of actions which depend on one another.
• Static vs. Dynamic: It's dynamic because the environment keeps changing. The opponent and ball positions are continuously changing and the agent has no say in it.
• Discrete vs. Continuous: It's continuous because the agent has to decide parameters like force required to hit the ball, direction of throw,speed with which it has to run are all continuous. There are infinite possibilities for scoring,defending and passing the ball to a player. All these attributes are continuous variables to be decided by the agent.
• Fully observable vs. Partially observable: It's partially observable because the agent can't observe the whole environment at once. The sensors of the agent can not surely decide what the opponent is thinking and what its next step is, the agent can't sense the all the changes in the environment.
• Single agent vs. Multiagent: It's multiagent because the game of soccer can't be played by a single agent.there has to be 2 teams.
