Direct policy search is a practical way to solve reinforcement learning problems involving continuous state and action spaces. The goal becomes finding policy parameters that maxi...
Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) are a class of evolutionary algorithms that use machine learning techniques to solve optimization problems. Machine learning is used t...
Multi-objective optimization is concerned with problems involving multiple measures of performance which should be optimized simultaneously. In this paper, we extend AND/OR Branch-...
We propose solving continuous parametric simulation optimizations using a deterministic nonlinear optimization algorithm and sample-path simulations. The optimization problem is w...
