The Problem with Noise and Small Disjuncts
Many systems that learn from examples express the learned concept as a disjunction. Those disjuncts that cover only a few examples are referred to as small disjuncts. The problem ...

Learning to Drive a Bicycle Using Reinforcement Learning and Shaping
We present and solve a real-world problem of learning to drive a bicycle. We solve the problem by online reinforcement learning using the Sarsa(   )-algorithm. Then we solve the ...
