We present a framework for knowledge transfer from one reinforcement learning task to a related task through advicetaking mechanisms. We discuss the importance of transfer in comp...

A non-parametric hierarchical Bayesian framework is developed for designing a classifier, based on a mixture of simple (linear) classifiers. Each simple classifier is termed a loc...

A long-lived agent continually faces new tasks in its environment. Such an agent may be able to use knowledge learned in solving earlier tasks to produce candidate policies for it...
Abstract. Reservoir computing approaches have been successfully applied to a variety of tasks. An inherent problem of these approaches, is, however, their variation in performance ...
