Cross-Entropy method: convergence issues for extended implementation
The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...

Learning to Coordinate Using Commitment Sequences in Cooperative Multi-agent Systems
We report on an investigation of the learning of coordination in cooperative multi-agent systems. Specifically, we study solutions that are applicable to independent agents i.e. ...
