Successes of Reinforcement Learning

Page history last edited by Satinder Singh 15 years, 6 months ago

The ambition of this page is to collect RL success stories. By "success story" we mean an application of RL methods to a substantial and difficult problem domain that is of independent interest (to some community). Yes, this is vague and if that leads to a longer list than otherwise, that may be ok.
