Bounty Brokers exist in real life :). They are the websites that profit from Like fiverr, the bounty is the service that the users on the site provide. Of course the bounty hunter is looking to get the most out of its expense of doing the bounty (the analogy to robots is that robots do… Continue reading Bounty Brokers

Bounties for Autonomous Traffic and Smart Grid
So, David reminded me of the problem of Coopetition and how that would be an issue with using bounties with the cars. Also, I love this problem (I’ve looked at it off and on since undergrad). Coopetition is basically the problem is how can competing teams learn to cooperate. So, here are my thoughts on… Continue reading Bounties for Autonomous Traffic and Smart Grid
Games
Would be interesting if console games included smartphone apps that had more game content to augment the game on the console. Like mini-games to get more gold/money/experience/characters/weapons etc to use in the console game. Also, by playing the real game different smartphone minigames could be played. To make money some of the games could offer… Continue reading Games
Accident Notification System
So, a friend of mine was just in a really bad car collision (not with another car thankfully). He was taken to a hospital and was unconscious and had fractured his skull. It took about 6 hours until his family was notified! It was on the website of our local newspaper like within the hour… Continue reading Accident Notification System
Decision Theory Paradox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellsberg_paradox is a decision theory paradox. One solution to the paradox is to use this Choquet integral. I don’t have time to read about it right now, but it seems like something that would be interesting to observe in multi-agent learning algorithms. What decision do they learn to take, what would make them learn the Choquet… Continue reading Decision Theory Paradox
WP and Heroku
Might have to do this as I would like to be able to upgrade things more easily with WP and Heroku. http://wptavern.com/heroku-wp-a-template-for-installing-and-running-wordpress-on-heroku
Automatic feature and target selection
So, I think that I will need to augment how we make features, behaviors and targets in order to get the automatic feature selection (and now automatic target selection as well. I forgot about how features can take targets!). We need to annotate them. Otherwise, I think that we won’t be able to get a… Continue reading Automatic feature and target selection
Automatic feature selection for Horde
I think that fractal clustering could be used to cluster data streams of electricity data. What about distributed clustering algorithms? So, we have massive data streams from different parts of the grid coming in to their respective hubs. How do you make sense of the whole? I think fractal clustering would work here. I believe… Continue reading Automatic feature selection for Horde
Fractal Transforms
Fractal transforms seem interesting: http://www.unc.edu/~marzuola/Math547_S13/Math547_S13_Projects/J_Blue_Kriska_Section001_Fractals.pdf
Trying out draftin
So this is a note I made at draftin.com, I don’t know if I will actually use this or will end up being a waste of time… Well this is sort of nice, but I would have to come here to another website and I already get this from my wordpress blog? Well I don’t… Continue reading Trying out draftin
