Neural Reinforcement Learning
Peter Dayan
2013 Invited Talk (Posner Lecture)
Abstract
Reinforcement learning has become a wide and deep conduit that links ideas and results in computer science, statistics, control theory and economics to psychological data on animal and human decision-making, and the neural basis of choice. There is a ready and free flow of ideas among these disciplines, providing a powerful foundation for exploring some of the complexities of both normal and abnormal behaviours. I will outline some of the happy circumstances that led us to this point; discuss current computational, algorithmic and implementational themes; and provide some pointers to the future.

Cambridge and then did a PhD at the University of Edinburgh,
specialising in associative memory and reinforcement learning. I did
postdocs with Terry Sejnowski at the Salk Institute and Geoff Hinton at
the University of Toronto, then became an Assistant Professor in Brain
and Cognitive Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
before moving to UCL.
