Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
Real stochastic processes operating in continuous time can be modeled by sets of stochastic differential equations. On the other hand, several popular model families, including hi...
Process modeling languages such as "Dynamical Grammars" are highly expressive in the processes they model using stochastic and deterministic dynamical systems, and can b...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. The payoff received by the controller can be evaluated in different ways, dep...
Reinforcement learning is a paradigm under which an agent seeks to improve its policy by making learning updates based on the experiences it gathers through interaction with the en...
