A general criterion and an algorithmic framework for learning in multi-agent systems
We offer a new formal criterion for agent-centric learning in multi-agent systems, that is, learning that maximizes one’s rewards in the presence of other agents who might also...

On the connection between the phase transition of the covering test and the learning success rate in ILP
It is well-known that heuristic search in ILP is prone to plateau phenomena. An explanation can be given after the work of Giordana and Saitta: the ILP covering test is NP-complete...
