Reinforcement learning algorithms that employ neural networks as function approximators have proven to be powerful tools for solving optimal control problems. However, their traini...
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
The present paper mainly studies the expected teaching time of memoryless randomized learners without feedback. First, a characterization of optimal randomized learners is provided...
Evolutionary computation methods have been used to solve several optimization and learning problems. This paper describes an application of evolutionary computation methods to con...
