Abstract. This paper proposes a novel approach to discover options in the form of conditionally terminating sequences, and shows how they can be integrated into reinforcement learn...
In this paper we explore whether an auctioneer/buyer may benefit from introducing his transformability relationships (some goods can be transformed into others at a transformation ...
A new search algorithm for solving distributed constraint optimization problems (DisCOPs) is presented. Agents assign variables sequentially and propagate their assignments asynchr...
Abstract. We present Minion, a new constraint solver. Empirical results on standard benchmarks show orders of magnitude performance gains over state-of-the-art constraint toolkits....
