Algorithms for Reinforcement Learning - Paperback

$53.44

by Csaba Szepesvári (Author)Reinforcement learning is a learning paradigm concerned with learning to control a system so as to maximize a numerical performance measure that expresses a long-term objective. What distinguishes reinforcement learning from supervised learning is that only partial feedback is given to the learner about the learner's predictions. Further, the predictions may have long term effects through influencing the future state of the controlled system. Thus, time plays a spe...

$40.32

by David Fernández Duque (Editor), Alessandra Palmigiano (Editor), Sophie Pinchinat (Editor)Ever since antiquity, philosophers have recognized that truth comes in many "modes", so that a proposition may not only be true or false, but also e.g. "necessary" or "possible".
