This paper describes several ensemble methods that combine multiple different reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms in a single agent. The aim is to enhance learning speed and fin...
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...
This paper investigates reinforcement learning (RL) in XCS. First, it formally shows that XCS implements a method of generalized RL based on linear approximators, in which the usu...
— Existing searching schemes in unstructured P2Ps can be categorized as either blind or informed. The quality of query results in blind schemes is low. Informed schemes use simpl...
Many popular optimization algorithms, like the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA), use heuristic-based "controllers" that modulate the behavior of the optimizer during ...
