This book provides tools and algorithms for solving a wide class of optimization tasks by learning from their repetitions. A unified framework is provided for learning algorithms that are based on the stochastic gradient (a golden standard in learning), including random simultaneous perturbations and the response surface the methodology. Original algorithms include model-free learning of short decision sequences as well as long sequencesrelying on model-supported gradient estimation. Learning is based on whole sequences of a process observation that are either vectors or images. This methodology is applicable to repetitive processes, covering a wide range from (additive) manufacturing to decision making for COVID-19 waves mitigation. A distinctive feature of the algorithms is learning between repetitionsthis idea extends the paradigms of iterative learning and run-to-run control. The main ideas can be extended to other decision learning tasks, not included in this book. The text is written in a comprehensible way with the emphasis on a user-friendly presentation of the algorithms, their explanations, and recommendations on how to select them. The book is expected to be of interest to researchers, Ph. D., and graduate students in computer science and engineering, operations research, decision making, and those working on the iterative learning control.
