What are some examples of sequential-decision tasks?

I ask this because I'm currently learning about Neural Networks as a subset of the machine learning algorithms

Just trying to get some intuition on what sort of problems out there are categorized as "sequential" while others "non-sequential"

Thanks :)

• All P-complete problems are believed to be inherently sequential, but proving as much requires separating P from NC. Dec 22, 2011 at 12:34
• The scope of cstheory is theoretical computer science. Please check the sites linked in the FAQ for general AI questions. Also please provide definitions or provide links to them so people not familiar with the topic can understand the question, see the links in the FAQ for how to write a good question.

• neural machine translation (and most other NLP problems) are sequential tasks, because the translation of a given word in a sentence does not only depend on the word itself, but also on the translation of the previous word (e.g. whether arm was interpreted as limb or as weapon).
