| Qualifikationsziele |
After successful participation in the module, students will be able to: Represent deterministic and stochastic optimization problems as dynamic programs Solve deterministic and stochastic optimization problems exactly, incl. with the backward induction, value and policy iteration methods Understand foundations of Markov chains and Markov decision processes and meaningfully apply them to solve stochastic optimization problems Apply the approximate dynamic programming (reinforcement learning) algorithm, critically appreciate variations in its design Critically evaluate the potential of AI and further the generic heuristic solution approaches in the light of the recent successes and of the no-free-lunch |
