Direct policy search is a practical way to solve reinforcement learning problems involving continuous state and action spaces. The goal becomes finding policy parameters that maxi...
In this paper, we propose a stochastic model to describe how search service providers charge client companies based on users' queries for the keywords related to these compan...
We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize a sum of agent objective functions subject to a common set of constraints. For this problem, we p...
