Minsky: neural-analog reinforcement systems

What changed

Developed mathematical and machine-oriented models of neural-analog reinforcement learning.

Scientific scope

The record is Minsky's doctoral thesis and its stated neural-analog models. It is not a later reinforcement-learning convergence theorem, a general account of biological learning or a record for all of Minsky's later artificial-intelligence work.
