One of the principal advantages of parallelizing a rule-based system, or more generally, any A.I. system, is the ability to pursue alternate search paths concurrently. Conventiona...

We propose a new approach for reinforcement learning in problems with continuous actions. Actions are sampled by means of a diffusion tree, which generates samples in the continuou...

In this paper an island model is described for the unconstrained Binary Quadratic Problem (BQP), which can be used with up to 2500 binary variables. Our island model uses a master...
This paper empirically investigates parallel competent genetic algorithms (cGAs) [4]. cGAs, such as BOA [21], LINCGA [15], D5 -GA [28], can solve GA-difficult problems by automati...
