Since the state space of most games is a directed graph, many game-playing systems detect repeated positions with a transposition table. This approach can reduce search effort by ...
Tabu search algorithms are amongst the most successful local search based methods for the maximum satisfiability problem. The practical superiority of tabu search over the local s...
We introduce anytime mechanisms for distributed optimization with self-interested agents. Anytime mechanisms retain good incentive properties even when interrupted before the opti...
Abstract-- Learning by imitation and learning from demonstration have received considerable attention in robotics. However, very little research has been in the direction of provid...
A growing number of applications seek to incorporate automatically generated narrative structure into interactive virtual environments. In this paper, we evaluate a representation...
