Sure A* is awesome, but taking the "star" and immediately attributing it to A* is probably a bridge too far.
Q* or any X* for that matter is extremely common for referring to the optimal function under certain assumptions. (usually cost / reward structure).
- tunesmith 3y agoYeah I just saw the video from that researcher (later an OpenAI researcher?) that talked about it back in 2016... not that I understood much, but it definitely seemed that Q* was a generalization of the Q algorithm described on the previous slide. The optimum something across all somethings.
- maaaaattttt 3y agoIf you have the possibility I would be quite interested in a link to the video or alternatively the name of the researcher you mention.
