Induction and Feedback

The article, by Ben Recht, discusses the decade-long exploration of the intersection between machine learning (engineered induction) and control theory (engineered feedback). It covers the formation of a research community, the founding of the Learning for Dynamics and Control (L4DC) conference, and the complementary perspectives each field brings to building safer, high-performance autonomous systems. The author also reflects on current impediments, such as an over-reliance on stochastic optimization.
