We introduce a unified probabilistic framework for solving sequential decision making problems ranging from Bayesian optimisation to contextual bandits and reinforcement learning. This is accomplished by a probabilistic model-based approach…

Inhibition is considered to shape neural activity, and broaden its pattern repertoire. In the sensory organs, where the anatomy of neural circuits is highly structured, lateral inhibition sharpens contrast among stimulus properties. The…
