How to achieve shared meaning is a significant issue when more than one intelligent agent is involved in the same domain. We define the task of concept convergence, by which intell...
We consider a finite-state Markov decision problem and establish the convergence of a special case of optimistic policy iteration that involves Monte Carlo estimation of Q-values,...
We study how decentralized agents can develop a shared vocabulary without global coordination. Answering this question can help us understand the emergence of many communication s...
The National Science Digital Library (NSDL), launched in December 2002, is emerging as a center of innovation in digital libraries as applied to education. As a part of this exten...
