Andrew G. Barto and Richard S. Sutton won the 2024 Turing Award for their work in reinforcement learning.

Reinforcement learning is a discipline in which machines learn through a reward-based trial-and-error approach that lets them adapt within constrained or dynamic environments.

In more recent years , reinforcement learning has received more attention after Google Deepmind used it to build an AI that defeated the world’s best AlphaGo players.
