Reinforcement Learning Day 2018 will share the latest research on learning to make decisions based on feedback.
Reinforcement learning is the study of decision making with consequences over time. The topic draws together multi-disciplinary efforts from computer science, cognitive science, mathematics, psychology, economics, control theory, and neuroscience. The common thread through all of these studies is: how do natural and artificial systems learn to make decisions in complex environments based on external, and possibly delayed, feedback.
This workshop features talks by nine outstanding speakers whose research covers a broad swath of the topic, from statistics to psychology, from computer science to control. A key objective is to bring together the research communities of all these areas to learn from each other and build on the latest knowledge.
