Abstract:
This research project elaborates a qualitative comparison between two different learning approaches, Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) over the Gridworld Markov Decision Process. The interest focus will be set on the second learning paradigm, IRL, as it is considered to be relatively new and little work has been developed in this field of study. As observed, RL outperforms IRL, obtaining a correct solution in all the different scenarios studied. However, the behaviour of the IRL algorithms can be improved and this will be shown and analyzed as part of the sco

Abstract:
We hypothesise that human aversive learning can be described algorithmically by Reinforcement Learning models. Our first experiment uses a second-order conditioning design to study sequential outcome prediction. We show that aversive prediction errors are expressed robustly in the ventral striatum, supporting the validity of temporal difference algorithms (as in reward learning), and suggesting a putative critical area for appetitive-aversive interactions. With this in mind, the second experiment explores the nature of pain relief, which as expounded in theories of motivational opponency, is r

Abstract:
In this work we use Reinforcement Learning to play the famous Rogue, a dungeon-crawler videogame father of the rogue-like genre. By employing different algorithms we substantially improve on the results obtained in previous work, addressing and solving the problems that were arisen. We then devise and perform new experiments to test the limits of our own solution and encounter additional and unexpected issues in the process. In one of the investigated scenario we clearly see that our approach is not yet enough to even perform better than a random agent and propose ideas for future works.

Abstract:
Reinforcement learning is the problem faced by an agent that must learn behavior through trial-and-error interactions with a dynamic environment. Generally, the problem to be solved contains subtasks that repeat at different regions of the state space. Without any guidance an agent has to learn the solutions of all subtask instances independently, which degrades the learning performance. In this thesis, we propose two approaches to build connections between different regions of the search space leading to better utilization of gained experience and accelerate learning is proposed.

Off-the-shelf Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms suffer from slow learning performance, partly because they are expected to learn a task from scratch merely through an agent's own experience. In this thesis, we show that learning from scratch is a limiting factor for the learning performance, and that when prior knowledge is available RL agents can learn a task faster. We evaluate relevant previous work and our own algorithms in various experiments.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a popular statistical Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique for building autonomous agents, but it suffers from the curse of dimensionality: the computational requirement for obtaining the optimal policies grows exponentially with the size of the state space. Integrating heuristics into RL has proven to be an effective approach to combat this curse, but deriving high-quality heuristics from people's (typically conflicting) domain knowledge is challenging, yet it received little research attention.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the open problem of automatically discovering hierarchical structure in reinforcement learning. Current algorithms for reinforcement learning fail to scale as problems become more complex. Many complex environments empirically exhibit hierarchy and can be modeled as interrelated subsystems, each in turn with hierarchic structure. Subsystems are often repetitive in time and space, meaning that they reoccur as components of different tasks or occur multiple times in different circumstances in the environment. A learning agent may sometimes scale to larger problems if it suc

Abstract:
Un’area di ricerca particolarmente attiva ultimamente nel campo dell'intelligenza artificiale (IA) riguarda lo studio di agenti autonomi, notevolmente diffusi anche nella vita quotidiana. L'obiettivo principale è sviluppare agenti che interagiscano in modo efficiente con altri agenti o esseri umani. Di conseguenza, queste relazioni potrebbero essere notevolmente semplificate grazie alla capacità di dedurre autonomamente le preferenze di altre entità e di adattare di conseguenza la strategia dell'agente. Pertanto, lo scopo di questa tesi è implementare un agente, in grado di apprendere, che int

Abstract:
<p>In this thesis, the theory of reinforcement learning is described and its relation to learning in biological systems is discussed. Some basic issues in reinforcement learning, the credit assignment problem and perceptual aliasing, are considered. The methods of temporal difference are described. Three important design issues are discussed: information representation and system architecture, rules for improving the behaviour and rules for the reward mechanisms. The use of local adaptive models in reinforcement learning is suggested and exemplified by some experiments. This idea is behind all

Abstract:
In this thesis, we study Collaborative Reinforcement Learning (CRL) in the context of Information Retrieval in unstructured distributed systems. Collaborative reinforcement learning is an extension to reinforcement learning to support multiple agents that both share value functions and cooperate to solve tasks. Specifically, we propose and develop an algorithm for searching in peer to peer systems by using collaborative reinforcement learning. We present a search technique that achieve higher performance than currently available techniques, but is straightforward and practical enough to be eas

Abstract:
The Action Selection problem is the problem of run-time choice between conflicting and heterogeneous goals, a central problem in the simulation of whole creatures (as opposed to the solution of isolated uninterrupted tasks). This thesis argues that Reinforcement Learning has been overlooked in the solution of the Action Selection problem. Considering a decentralised model of mind, with internal tension and competition between selfish behaviors, this thesis introduces an algorithm called "W-learning", whereby different parts of the mind modify their behavior based on whether or not they are suc

Abstract:
The unifying theme of this thesis is the design and analysis of adaptive procedures that are aimed at learning the optimal decision in the presence of uncertainty. The first part is devoted to strategic decision making involving multiple individuals with conflicting interests. This is the subject of non-cooperative game theory. The proliferation of social networks has led to new ways of sharing information. Individuals subscribe to social groups, in which their experiences are shared. This new information patterns facilitate the resolution of uncertainties. We present an adaptive learning alg
