DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/MPML/89/">Fr
 om Calculus of Variations to Reinforcement Learning (Lectures 1 & 2)</a>\n
 by Diogo Gomes (KAUST) as part of Mathematics\, Physics and Machine Learni
 ng (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nThis course begins with a brief introduct
 ion to classical calculus of variations and its applications to classical 
 problems such as geodesic trajectories and the brachistochrone problem. Th
 en\, we examine Hamilton-Jacobi equations\, the role of convexity and the 
 classical verification theorem. Next\, we illustrate the lack of classical
  solutions and motivate the definition of viscosity solutions. The course 
 ends with a brief description of the reinforcement learning problem and it
 s connection with Hamilton-Jacobi equations.\n
