SDR: a better trigger for adaptive variance scaling in normal EDAs
Recently, advances have been made in continuous, normal– distribution–based Estimation–of–Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) by scaling the variance up from the maximum–like...

MB-AIM-FSI: a model based framework for exploiting gradient ascent multiagent learners in strategic interactions
Future agent applications will increasingly represent human users autonomously or semi-autonomously in strategic interactions with similar entities. Hence, there is a growing need...

The Influence of Reward on the Speed of Reinforcement Learning: An Analysis of Shaping
Shaping can be an effective method for improving the learning rate in reinforcement systems. Previously, shaping has been heuristically motivated and implemented. We provide a for...
