Developing dialogue systems is a complex process. In particular, designing efficient dialogue management strategies is often difficult as there are no precise guidelines to develo...
This paper describes some of the interactions of model learning algorithms and planning algorithms we have found in exploring model-based reinforcement learning. The paper focuses...
Dynamic programming provides a methodology to develop planners and controllers for nonlinear systems. However, general dynamic programming is computationally intractable. We have ...
In this paper, we study the perturbation operator of Iterated Local Search. To guide more efficiently the search to move towards new promising regions of the search space, we intro...
In reinforcement learning, an agent interacting with its environment strives to learn a policy that specifies, for each state it may encounter, what action to take. Evolutionary c...
