My teacher and friend Dimitri Bertsekas passed away earlier this month.
He was an amazing researchers who shaped so many different fields. Αιώνια η μνήμη
I have to say that I have been thinking about your connection with professor Bertsekas and finding this blog has been a source of great satisfaction.
His approach of placing RL in the broader field of optimal control and the associated critical commentary in his books is a service of enormous value.
Damn. His 1 (one) interaction with me, via email:
"the version of tetris described in the book...is the one that has been used in competitions for approximate DP algorithms.
I thank you for your observations and hope you otherwise enjoy the book,"
Thank you for sharing Prof Ben Recht!
Prof. Bertsekas is, in many ways, a modern Euler of the optimization and control community.
