> Over the last few decades, reinforcement learning and decision making
> have been the focus of an incredible wealth of research spanning a
> wide variety of fields including psychology, artificial intelligence,
> machine learning, operations research, control theory, animal and
> human neuroscience, economics and ethology. Key to many developments
> in the field has been interdisciplinary sharing of ideas and findings,
> yet there is no single conference that brings all these communities
> together.
> 
> The focus of this meeting can be broadly construed as "decision making
> over time to achieve a goal". Our aim is to inaugurate a recurring
> meeting characterized by the multidisciplinarity of the presenters and
> attendees, with cross-disciplinary conversations and teaching and
> learning being central objectives along with the dissemination of
> novel theoretical and experimental results.
> 
> The first meeting will be single-track, with 8 talk sessions and 2
> poster sessions over the course of 2.5 days. This meeting will consist
> mostly of invited talks and contributed posters (future meetings will
> concentrate on contributed talks and posters, tutorial sessions and
> workshops).
> 
> Please mark your calendars -- Oct 25-27, Princeton -- more
> information, including a "Call for Contributions", will follow (note
> that we will not publish proceedings; papers submitted to RLDM  can be
> freely submitted elsewhere for publication).
> 
> Please circulate widely and encourage your students and postdocs to attend.
