Natural policy gradient methods and the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, two variable metric methods proposed for solving reinforcement learning tasks, are contrast...
To complement standard fitness functions, we propose "Fitness Importance" (FI) as a novel meta-heuristic for online learning systems. We define FI and show how it can be...
Abstract- The effect of adding noise to an expressioninduction model of language evolution was investigated. The model consisted of a number of artificial people who were able to i...
In this paper, we apply an evolutionary algorithm to learning behavior on a novel, interesting task to explore the general issue of learning e ective behaviors in a complex enviro...
We describe the first instance of an approach for control programming of humanoid robots, based on evolution as the main adaptation mechanism. In an attempt to overcome some of th...
