It is not unusual that an approximate model is needed for fitness evaluation in evolutionary computation. In this case, the convergence properties of the evolutionary algorithm are...
We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. Optimism is usually implemented by carryin...
Optimal mode selection for video coding is important in minimizing visual distortion given a rate constraint, and it has been studied in the literature using a single previous mac...
