The Significance of Temporal-Difference Learning in Self-Play Training TD-Rummy versus EVO-rummy
Reinforcement learning has been used for training game playing agents. The value function for a complex game must be approximated with a continuous function because the number of ...

Active learning using mean shift optimization for robot grasping
— When children learn to grasp a new object, they often know several possible grasping points from observing a parent’s demonstration and subsequently learn better grasps by tr...
