In this paper, we address two issues of long-standing interest in the reinforcement learning literature. First, what kinds of performance guarantees can be made for Q-learning aft...
This paper presents a coordination algorithm for mobile autonomous robots. Relying upon distributed sensing, the robots achieve rendezvous, that is, they move to a common location....
Background: In sequence analysis the multiple alignment builds the fundament of all proceeding analyses. Errors in an alignment could strongly influence all succeeding analyses an...
