Explore-Exploit Algorithm

An Explore-Exploit Algorithm is an optimization algorithm that includes an exploration algorithm and an exploitation algorithm.

• Context:
  • It can be implemented by an Explore-Exploit System (that can solve an explore-exploit task).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Supervised Learning Algorithm.
• See: Reinforcement Learning Algorithm, Multi-Armed Bandit Algorithm.
