In this paper we propose that a crucial capability has been omitted from the design of the parsers that have been use...

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...
