Introduction to Artificial Intelligence - Bandit Algorithms - Lecture 16

Lecture 16 of the "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course (COMP 3200/6980) at Memorial University focuses on Bandit Algorithms. Taught by Professor David Churchill during Winter 2025, this lecture is part of a comprehensive introduction to AI that covers algorithmic techniques and data structures used in modern problem-solving environments. Learn about the multi-armed bandit problem and algorithms designed to balance exploration and exploitation in decision-making scenarios. Throughout the course, students apply these techniques to simple games through related assignments, though course materials are not publicly available. This graduate-level content (also offered as COMP 3200) provides essential knowledge for understanding how AI systems make decisions under uncertainty.
