Abstract
This is the second special issue of Machine Learning on the subject of reinforcement learning. The first, edited by Richard Sutton in 1992, marked the development of reinforcement learning into a major component of the machine learning field. Since then, the area has expanded further, accounting for a significant proportion of the papers at the annual International Conference on Machine Learning and attracting many new researchers.
