A Formal Methodology for Verifying Situated Agents
In this paper, we develop a formal methodology for verifying situated agents. The methodology consists of two elements, a specification language for specifying the agent capabilit...

Fixpoint 3-Valued Semantics for Autoepistemic Logic
The paper presents a constructive 3-valued semantics for autoepistemic logic (AEL). We introduce a derivation operator and de ne the semantics as its least xpoint. The semantics is...

Bayesian Q-Learning
A central problem in learning in complex environmentsis balancing exploration of untested actions against exploitation of actions that are known to be good. The benefit of explora...

A Non-Deterministic Semantics for Tractable Inference
Unit resolution is arguably the most useful known algorithm for tractable reasoning in propositional logic. Intuitively, if one knows a, b, and a b c, then c should be an obviou...

The Dynamics of Reinforcement Learning in Cooperative Multiagent Systems
Reinforcement learning can provide a robust and natural means for agents to learn how to coordinate their action choices in multiagent systems. We examine some of the factors that...
