The Nonstochastic Multiarmed Bandit Problem

by Peter Auer, Nicolo Cesa-bianchi, Yoav Freund, Robert E. Schapire - SIAM JOURNAL OF COMPUTING , 2002
"... In the multiarmed bandit problem, a gambler must decide which arm of K non-identical slot machines to play in a sequence of trials so as to maximize his reward. This classical problem has received much attention because of the simple model it provides of the trade-off between exploration (trying out ..."

Finite-time analysis of the multiarmed bandit problem

by Peter Auer, Paul Fischer, Jyrki Kivinen - Machine Learning , 2002
"... Abstract. Reinforcement learning policies face the exploration versus exploitation dilemma, i.e. the search for a balance between exploring the environment to find profitable actions while taking the empirically best action as often as possible. A popular measure of a policy’s success in addressing ..."

Decision-Theoretic Planning: Structural Assumptions and Computational Leverage

by Craig Boutilier, Thomas Dean, Steve Hanks - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 1999
"... Planning under uncertainty is a central problem in the study of automated sequential decision making, and has been addressed by researchers in many different fields, including AI planning, decision analysis, operations research, control theory and economics. While the assumptions and perspectives ..."

Solving the Distal Reward Problem through Linkage of STDP and Dopamine Signaling

by Eugene M. Izhikevich - CEREBRAL CORTEX , 2007
"... In Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning, reward typically comes seconds after reward-triggering actions, creating an explanatory conundrum known as ‘‘distal reward problem’’: How does the brain know what firing patterns of what neurons are responsible for the reward if 1) the patterns are no long ..."

LogP: Towards a Realistic Model of Parallel Computation

by David Culler , Richard Karp , David Patterson, Abhijit Sahay, Klaus Erik Schauser, Eunice Santos, Ramesh Subramonian, Thorsten von Eicken , 1993
"... A vast body of theoretical research has focused either on overly simplistic models of parallel computation, notably the PRAM, or overly specific models that have few representatives in the real world. Both kinds of models encourage exploitation of formal loopholes, rather than rewarding developme ..."

Motivation through the Design of Work: Test of a Theory. Organizational Behavior and Human Performance,

by ] Richard Hackman , Grec R Oldham , 1976
"... A model is proposed that specifies the conditions under which individuals will become internally motivated to perform effectively on their jobs. The model focuses on the interaction among three classes of variables: (a) the psychological states of employees that must be present for internally motiv ..."

Beyond Plan Length: Heuristic Search Planning for Maximum Reward Problems.

by Jason Farquhar, Chris Harris
"... Abstract. Automatic extraction of heuristic estimates has been extremely fruitful in classical planning domains. We present a simple extension to the heuristic extraction process from the well-known HSP and FF systems which allow us to apply them to reward maximisation problems. These extensions inv ..."

Doing It Now or Later

by Ted O'Donoghue, Matthew Rabin , 1996
"... Though economists assume that intertemporal preferences are time-consistent, evidence suggests that a person 's relative preference for well-being at an earlier moment over a later moment increases as the earlier moment gets closer. We explore the behavioral and welfare implications of such tim ..."
