> Reinforcement learning is a machine learning approach, there is no serious debate about that. The question is whether it is restricted to neural networks, or not.

The answer to the latter question is obviously “no”. Did anyone argue otherwise? mdp2021 suggested that redytedy may have meant that but what he or she actually wrote is “You can USE ML for RL, but the field itself is considered separate from ML and under AI in general.”

Maybe I'm confused, but I'm replying to feral's OP, where they say "Hmm, I don't see that." in response to mdp2021's comment that "Reinforcement Learning is not restricted to Neural Networks."

That’s how I interpreted the exchange:

mdp2021: “The poster probably meant: Reinforcement Learning is not restricted to Neural Networks.”

feral: “Hmm, I don't see that.” [that RLinrtNN is probably what redytedy meant]

“In the spirit of the cutting edge, any chance you could give me a chain-of-reasoning on that inference?” [the inference that redytedy probably meant RLinrtNN]

I could be wrong.

Yes, maybe I misread that. I read it as feral doubting that Reinforcement Learning is not restricted to neural networks.
