CS 6804: Learning and Sequential Decision-Making

Spring 2013

This site is basically a public placeholder. The actual course site is on Piazza and can be accessed here.

This course will study, from a computer science perspective, the problems faced by agents who are situated in dynamic, changing environments. The central question is how agents should reason in order to make the best decisions in these environments. In order to do so, they must be able to learn from experience and perform complex decision-making tasks under uncertainty. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, Markov decision processes, partial observability, reinforcement learning, bandit problems, sequential search, and reasoning and learning in games.
