I think as a whole, the community is executing a distributed epsilon-greedy montecarlo search, which is theoretically guaranteed to converge on an optimal policy eventually.
- goptimize 9y agowhen time goes to infinity which is a shitty guarantee
- inverse_pi 9y agonot necessarily. The convergence point can be and will probably be sub-optimal if we keep doing this without a mathematical framework guiding us.
- zardo 9y agoSo long as you never stop trying random things, you are guaranteed to find a global optimum... as time->inf Not a very useful guarantee, but that's theoretical guarantees for you.
