Bandit Problems 0
This comic is about computers making decisions in uncertain situations. This type of problem is called a ‘bandit’ problem, named after a “one-armed bandit”, a euphemistic name for a slot machine! Choosing to take an action in a bandit problem is making a gamble, where you pay a price (in time, money, etc) and you don’t know how likely you are to get the outcome that you want. But every time you pull the lever, you get a little more information, which you can use to make better decisions in the future. See how our protagonists learn to choose wisely in order to have the best Halloween night ever!
