I had thought I was quite well informed and to a large degree I did know most of the science in more traditional Computer Science (it was my undergraduate degree…). What had slipped me by was reinforcement learning, both its mathematical grounding and value of application. If you’ve come from the previous post ([RL Series 1/n] Defining Artificial Intelligence and Reinforcement Learning) you know I’ve said something like that already.
