Richard S. Sutton

Richard S. Sutton is a prominent computer scientist known for his significant contributions to the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in reinforcement learning. Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning where algorithms learn to make decisions by receiving feedback from their environment, much like how humans learn from rewards and consequences. Sutton co-authored the influential book "Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction," which has shaped the development of this field. His work has applications in various areas, from robotics to game playing, helping machines learn and adapt to complex tasks through experience.
