Reinforcement Learning

It refine their strategies through trial-and-error interaction with their environment, adapting
dynamically to changing conditions.

Optimal Decision-Making in Uncertainty

Coordinated agents are interconnected, self-optimizing algorithms grounded in stochastic control theory, a mathematical framework for making optimal decisions under uncertainty. They refine their strategies through trial-and-error interaction with their environment, adapting dynamically to changing conditions.

Core Concepts

Agents develop a blueprint (policy) for making optimal decisions by mapping the probabilistic relationships between actions, states, and expected rewards.

A carefully designed reward mechanism signals when an agent makes the “right” decision, guiding its learning process.

Collaboration and Competition

Agents share insights, including mappings of their environments and components of their reward mechanisms, enabling collaboration.

At times, agents compete to encourage exploration of untapped areas, uncovering hidden opportunities and ensuring adaptability.

Balancing Specialization and Team Goals

Each agent specializes in a niche market while contributing to broader team objectives. High-level coordination ensures alignment with company goals, fostering a balance between short-term adaptability and long-term competitiveness.
