NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems are common in real life. Due to their intractability, local search algorithms are often used to solve such problems. Since these algori...
We sketch a framework for learning structured coordinated behavior, specifically the tactical behavior of Experimental Unmanned Vehicles (XUVs). We conceptualize an XUV unit as a ...
