Logged user interactions are one of the most ubiquitous forms of data available, as they can be recorded from a variety of systems (e.g., search engines, recommender systems, ad placement) at little cost. While it is clear that interactions (e.g. clicks) reveal some information about the user's... Read More »

Reinforcement learning is a branch of machine learning, in which in algorithm learns a good policy for acting in an environment of interest, based on experience. When interacting with the environment, an agent (algorithm) experiences rewards or costs, based upon actions taken in particular... Read More »
