The paper introduces a new framework for feature learning in classification motivated by information theory. We first systematically study the information structure and present a n...
— Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have long been promising methods for enabling an autonomous robot to improve its behavior on sequential decision-making tasks. The obviou...
This paper explores hybrid agents that use a variety of techniques to improve their performance in an environment over time. We considered, specifically, geneticlearning-parentin...
This paper analyzes the potential advantages and theoretical challenges of “active learning” algorithms. Active learning involves sequential sampling procedures that use infor...
Inspired by longstanding lines of research in sociology and related fields, and by more recent largepopulation human subject experiments on the Internet and the Web, we initiate a...
