Innovation and learning seemed to develop more quickly with a larger population. Like comparing europe to the native americans. So I think that it would be wise to try to see how large groups of agents who were grouped doing different tasks whether innovation would emerge. Like have a huge “soup” of agents and have… Continue reading Swarms

Scope of Swarm
At what point does the macrophenoma of a MAS appear as a swarm like behavior? Then in a large multiagent learning problem could the agents be viewed as swarms instead of agents? Can an algorithm be created to discover the swarm behavior of a large system composed of MARL agents?
Learning from/by Demonstration what are the limitations?
I’ve been reading up on this area a bit and I haven’t yet seen a paper detailing the shortcomings or limitations of this approach to AI. I’ll read more to see if someone has researched this…
Adaptive websites
In AI terms the user agent’s environment when browsing the internet is their browser. So, if the browser could construct a model of the user’s behavior, when the user enters a website the model that has been constructed could be sent to the website in order to construct a personalized layout etc. Websites could possibly… Continue reading Adaptive websites
F-statistics for NEAT
To determine the number of genomes within the population automatically could use F-statistics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-statistics). It doesn’t seem like it has been explored in genetic algorithms, rather for human population studies. Another way that subpopulations could be culled is to use the inbreeding coefficient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_relationship).
Culture
Could I use a model or description of the culture of an agent to determine how well it would adapt to working with others in a group. Sort of a similarity index of cultures. This would help an agent to decide if he wants to collaborate with a group. Sean Luke has published two papers… Continue reading Culture
Automatic Subject Line Generation
I sometimes have a hard time thinking of what would be a good subject line for an email. It seems like the subject could be automatically generated based on the message with a combination of a word cloud, thesaurus, and learning based on the user’s inbox.
Skill Decomposition
In a cooperative multi-agent learning environment if a new agent enters the system the others can teach the new agent the high level task which it can then decompose to learn other useful skills. In the single agent case an example would be teaching a robot to get from a to b which requires going… Continue reading Skill Decomposition
Importing posts
Well I was able to export the wp_posts table from phpMyAdmin at freehostingcloud. Then I had to change some of the id’s in the exported sql so that they didn’t conflict with those that were already used. I imported the data into wp_posts. Then I ran this sql UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, ‘http://drew.freehostingcloud.com’,’http://drew.heliohost.org’);… Continue reading Importing posts
Old site
Hi, I used to be at drew.freehostingcloud.com and I had to switch because for some reason freehostingcloud took my website and a bunch of other people’s sites on Sunday. I even got on the forum to see what was up (http://www.freehostingcloud.com/forum/thread-can-t-access-website). Thankfully I was able to still access the backend and get all of the… Continue reading Old site
