Talk:Behavior selection algorithm

Turn into a disambiguation bage

Too many kinds of behavioral modeling. Even physics could be construed as the modeling of particle-like behaviour! Should be turned into a disambiguation page. Dpleibovitz (talk) 22:04, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

"Policy"

How is this related to the term "Policy" used in reinforcement learning and Markov decision processes? My impression is that this is the more common term. For example, the leading AI textbook Russell and Norvig's Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach uses the term "Policy" and does not mention "Behavior Selection Algorithm" (at least, not in the index).

A Google search of the "behavior selection algorithm" turns up several academic papers that use it, but the way I read them, they are not using it as technical term, they're just using it as a transparent phrase in English: A behavior selection algorithm is an algorithm that selects a behavior.

I think an article defining "Policy (artificial intelligence)" would be useful, because the term is not very transparent and readers could use a clear definition. ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 05:50, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Maybe this article should be "List of behavior selection algorithms". ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 06:03, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
