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, 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 virtual workshop featured talks by a number of outstanding speakers whose research covers a broad swath of the topic, from statistics to neuroscience, from computer science to control. A key objective was to bring together the research communities of all these areas to learn from each other and build on the latest knowledge.
