Diffusion strategies for cooperative reinforcement learning

When: February 14, 2014 from 11 AM to noon Where: room W01 Speaker: Sergio Valcarcel Title: Diffusion strategies for cooperative reinforcement learning Abstract: We will introduce diffusion strategies and apply them to develop fully-distributed cooperative reinforcement learning solutions, in which agents in a network communicate only with their immediate neighbors to improve predictions about their …
