Controle extremal: Como máquinas podem aprender sozinhas a alcançar um melhor desempenho?
Simples assim. Imagine que você está cozinhando e tenta acertar o tempero de uma sopa. Coloca um pouco de sal, prova, percebe que está sem graça, acrescenta mais um pouco e experimenta novamente — até encontrar o ponto ideal. Esse processo de tentativa e erro é natural para nós, humanos. Mas como fazer uma máquina […]
