- Assigning credit/blame for outcomes to each internal decision
- Loading Problem
- Loading a training set into the free parameters
- Important to any learning machine attempting to improve performance in situations involving temporally extended behaviour
Two Sub-problems:
- ***Temporal*** credit-assignment problem
- Assigning credit for **outcomes** to **actions**
- Involves time when actions that deserve credit were taken
- Relevant when many actions taken and want to know which one was responsible
- ***Structural*** credit-assignment problem
- Assigning credit for **actions** to **internal decisions**
- Involves internal structures of actions generated by system
- Relevant for identifying which component should have behaviour altered
- By how much
- Important in MLPs when there are many hidden neurons
