Title: From Reinforcement Learning to Approximate Optimal Learning
Date: August 9, 2019
Time: 2:00PM

Abstract:
Reinforcement learning framework gives no closed form analysis for exploration/exploitation dilemma. As a consequence, there is no general theory to explain data efficiency, which often impacts practical applications of reinforcement learning algorithms.
