I claim that this is wrong: I can understand down to the physical level and reproduce at will something which implements the UCB algorithm, and it still seems like an optimisation algorithm to me.
Hmm, I don’t have a good understanding of this algorithm, from your link I gather that this is still an agent who follows the algorithm, not a physical system without an agent anywhere in there, like, say, a chess bot. But it could be my misunderstanding.
