Sequential decision making

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In artificial intelligence, sequential decision making refers to algorithms that take the dynamics[clarification needed] of the world into consideration,[1] thus delaying parts of the problem until it must be solved[clarification needed]. It can be described as a procedural approach to decision-making, or as a step by step decision theory. Sequential decision making has as a consequence the intertemporal choice problem, where earlier decisions influences the later available choices.[2]
