A New Hybrid Model for Associative Reinforcement Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a new model, addressing the Associative Reinforcement Learning (ARL) problem, based on learning automata and self organizing map is proposed. The model consists of two layers. The First layer comprised of a SOM which is utilized to quantize the state (context) space and the second layer contains of a team of learning automata which is used to select an optimal action in each state of the environment. First layer is mapped to the second layer via an associative function. In other words, each learning automaton is in correspondence with only one neuron of the self organizing map. In order to show the performance of the proposed method, it has been applied successfully to classification applications on Iris, Ecoli, and Yeast data sets, as examples of ARL task. The results of experiments show that the proposed method is reached the accuracy near to or even higher than the highest reported accuracy. The results obtained for Ecoli and Yeast data sets indicate that the method is able to classify in relatively high dimensional context space and high number of classes.

However, so far LCS have shown their effectiveness for...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning in Associative Memory
A reinforcement learning based associative memory structure (RLAM) is proposed. In this structure, a one-layer feed forward Palm [1] model is applied to the networks. Instead of batch training, an on-line learning method is used to construct the memory. The networks are trained interactively according to reinforcement learning, which is biologically plausible. The experiment results show that t...
متن کاملAn Integrated Model of Associative and Reinforcement Learning
Successfully explaining and replicating the complexity and generality of human and animal learning will require the integration of a variety of learning mechanisms. Here, we introduce a computational model which integrates associative learning (AL) and reinforcement learning (RL). We contrast the integrated model with standalone AL and RL models in three simulation studies. First, a synthetic g...
متن کاملAssociative Reinforcement Learning - A Proposal to Build Truly Adaptive Agents and Multi-agent Systems
In this position paper we propose to enhance learning algorithms, reinforcement learning in particular, for agents and for multi-agent systems, with the introduction of concepts and mechanisms borrowed from associative learning theory. It is argued that existing algorithms are limited in that they adopt a very restricted view of what “learning” is, partly due to the constraints imposed by the M...
متن کاملReconciling the influence of predictiveness and uncertainty on stimulus salience: a model of attention in associative learning.
Theories of selective attention in associative learning posit that the salience of a cue will be high if the cue is the best available predictor of reinforcement (high predictiveness). In contrast, a different class of attentional theory stipulates that the salience of a cue will be high if the cue is an inaccurate predictor of reinforcement (high uncertainty). Evidence in support of these seem...
