Prof. Xi-Ren Cao's new book Stochastic Learning and Optimization: A Sensitivity-Based Approach has recently been published by Springer. This book covers various disciplines in learning and optimization, including perturbation analysis of discrete-event dynamic systems, Markov decision processes, reinforcement learning, and adaptive control, with a unified framework. This book introduces the recently developed event-based optimization approach, which opens up a research direction in overcoming or alleviating the difficulties due to the curse of dimensionality issue by utilizing the system's special features.
