End of year report for parallel vision algorithm design and implementation : January 15, 1986-January 14, 1987

The parallel vision algorithm design and implementation project was established to facilitate vision programming on parallel architectures, particularly low-level vision and robot vehicle control algorithms on the Camegie Mellon Warp machine. To this end, we have (1) demonstrated the use of the Warp machine in several different algorithms; (2) developed a specialized programming language, calle...

16-899C ACRL Tetris Reinforcement Learner

Our approach to this problem was to use reinforcement learning with a function approximator to approximate the state value function [RSS98]. In our case, a +1 reward was given for every completed line, so that the value function would encode the long-term number of lines that is going to be completed by the algorithm. In order to achieve this, we extract features from the game state, and use gr...

Actions of vector groupoids

In this work we deal with actions of vector groupoid which is a new concept in the literature‎. ‎After we give the definition of the action of a vector groupoid on a vector space‎, ‎we obtain some results related to actions of vector groupoids‎. ‎We also apply some characterizations of the category and groupoid theory to vector groupoids‎. ‎As the second part of the work‎, ‎we define the notion...
