A contour method in population-based stochastic algorithms
—Inspired by the contours in topography, this paper proposes a contour method for the population-based stochastic algorithms to solve the problems with continuous variables. Rely...

Linear Dynamic Programs for Resource Management
Sustainable resource management in many domains presents large continuous stochastic optimization problems, which can often be modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). To solv...

Direct Policy Search using Paired Statistical Tests
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...

A neurocomputational model of stochastic resonance and aging
Stochastic resonance (SR) is fundamental to physical and biological processes. Here, we use a stochastic gain-tuning model to investigate interactions between aging-related increa...

A Pumping Algorithm for Ergodic Stochastic Mean Payoff Games with Perfect Information
Abstract. We consider two-person zero-sum stochastic mean payoff games with perfect information, or BWR-games, given by a digraph G = (V = VB VW VR, E), with local rewards r : E R...
