An efficient policy search algorithm should estimate the local gradient of the objective function, with respect to the policy parameters, from as few trials as possible. Whereas m...
Performance profile trees have recently been proposed as a theoretical basis for fully normative deliberation control. In this paper we conduct the first experimental study of the...
We present a new method for estimating the expected return of a POMDP from experience. The estimator does not assume any knowledge of the POMDP, can estimate the returns for finit...
: Ad hoc wireless networks are a special type of wireless network in which a collection of mobile hosts (nodes) with wireless network interfaces may form a temporary network withou...
We study the problem of sorting binary sequences and permutations by length-weighted reversals. We consider a wide class of cost functions, namely f( ) = for all 0, where is the...
