Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in interactive narrative-centered virtual environments for education, training, and entertainment. Narrative environments dynamicall...
R-max is a very simple model-based reinforcement learning algorithm which can attain near-optimal average reward in polynomial time. In R-max, the agent always maintains a complet...
Self-organizing models develop realistic cortical structures when given approximations of the visual environment as input, and are an effective way to model the development of fac...
We show that a resealed constrainedness parameter provides the basis for accurate numerical models of search cost for both backtracking and local search algorithms. In the past, t...
