Building bridges, not mountains

By MaryLena Bleile

About This Book

“Optimal Control Using Causal Agents” is a translational monograph for practitioners already familiar with either Causal Inference or Reinforcement Learning. In a complementary counterpart to monographs which build comprehensive theory from the ground up, this work highlights the connections and synergies of Causal Inference and Reinforcement Learning, elucidating the broader scientific context of these methods. This book is under contract with CRC Press, tentatively forthcoming 2027.
