— Environments with varying reward contingencies constitute a challenge to many living creatures. In such conditions, animals capable of adaptation and learning derive an advanta...
Since the classical work of D. O. Hebb [1] it has been assumed that synaptic plasticity solely depends on the activity of the pre- and the postsynaptic cell. Synapses influence th...
In reinforcement learning, an agent interacting with its environment strives to learn a policy that specifies, for each state it may encounter, what action to take. Evolutionary c...
We present an evolving neural network model in which synapses appear and disappear stochastically according to bio-inspired probabilities. These are in general nonlinear functions ...
We discuss an important property called the asymptotic equipartition property on empirical sequences in reinforcement learning. This states that the typical set of empirical seque...
