Exploration–Exploitation Dilemma

If you're interested in these topics, the Sutton & Barto RL book is excellent, and Chapter 2 has a lot of discussion on exploration vs. exploitation strategies

while the main part on the wiki says 'many domains' the applications in RL part makes it seem maybe 'learning domains' but this concept can actually be drawn much broader also out of IT or even systems thinking.

think, relationships (of any kind perhaps).

so i feel the article really lacks to emphasize what this theory really could encompass.

its interesting nonetheless.

perhaps there is no good literature on the theory beyond RL. maybe an opportunity.
