Can neural networks have continuous inputs and outputs, or do they have to be discrete?
In general, can ANNs have continuous inputs and outputs, or do they have to be discrete?
So, basically, I would like to have a mapping of continuous inputs to continuous outputs. Is this possible? Does this depend on the type of ANN?

What should the input and output of the Q-network be in the case of an ordinal action space?
I recently started looking into implementations of the DQN algorithm (e.g. TensorFlow) in some more detail. All the implementations that I found use a network that gives an output for each possible action (e.g. if you have three possible actions you…

When should discretization of observations be considered?
I found some literature regarding the design of action-spaces and that e.g. a discretization of continuous actions in video-game environments can be crucial for successful learning (Action Space Shaping in Deep Reinforcement Learning,…
