Evolution of reward functions for reinforcement learning
The reward functions that drive reinforcement learning systems are generally derived directly from the descriptions of the problems that the systems are being used to solve. In so...

Convergence Models of Genetic Algorithm Selection Schemes
We discuss the use of normal distribution theory as a tool to model the convergence characteristics of di erent GA selection schemes. The models predict the proportion of optimal a...

Beyond local optimality: An improved approach to hybrid model learning
Abstract-- Local convergence is a limitation of many optimization approaches for multimodal functions. For hybrid model learning, this can mean a compromise in accuracy. We develop...

On the convergence of the power series algorithm
In this paper we study the convergence properties of the power series algorithm, which is a general method to determine (functions of) stationary distributions of Markov chains. W...
