In this paper the notion of a partial-order plan is extended to task-hierarchies. We introduce the concept of a partial-order taskhierarchy that decomposes a problem using multi-ta...
We describe an evaluation of spoken dialogue strategies designed using hierarchical reinforcement learning agents. The dialogue strategies were learnt in a simulated environment a...
In this paper, we investigate the use of hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) to speed up the acquisition of cooperative multi-agent tasks. We introduce a hierarchical multi-a...

This paper introduces an approach to automatic basis function construction for Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) tasks. We describe some considerations that arise when con...
This paper merges hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) with ant colony optimization (ACO) to produce a HRL ACO algorithm capable of generating solutions for large domains. Th...
