Individual evolutionary learning with many agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Individual Evolutionary Learning (IEL) is a learning model based on the evolution of a population of strategies of an individual agent. In prior work, IEL has been shown to be consistent with the behavior of human subjects in games with a small number of agents. In this paper, we examine the performance of IEL in games with many agents. We find IEL to be robust to this type of scaling. With the appropriate linear adjustment of the mechanism parameter, the convergence behavior of IEL in games induced by Groves-Ledyard mechanisms in quadratic environments is independent of the number of participants.

The Effect of Social Learning on Individual Learning and Evolution
We consider the effects of social learning on the individual learning and genetic evolution of a colony of artificial agents capable of genetic, individual and social modes of adaptation. We confirm that there is strong selection pressure to acquire traits of individual learning and social learning when these are adaptive traits. We show that selection pressure for learning of either kind can s...
متن کاملLearning to cooperate in multi-agent systems by combining Q-learning and evolutionary strategy
Cooperative games can represent interactions between multiple agents in many real-life situations. Thus single-stage cooperative games provide a stylized, abstracted environment for testing algorithms that allow artificial agents to learn to cooperate in such settings. Individual reinforcement learners often fail to learn coordinated behavior. Using an evolutionary approach to strategy selectio...
متن کامل Structure Learning in Bayesian Networks Using Asexual Reproduction Optimization
A new structure learning approach for Bayesian networks (BNs) based on asexual reproduction optimization (ARO) is proposed in this letter. ARO can be essentially considered as an evolutionary based algorithm that mathematically models the budding mechanism of asexual reproduction. In ARO, a parent produces a bud through a reproduction operator; thereafter the parent and its bud compete to survi...
متن کاملEvolutionary Ensembles: Combining Learning Agents using Genetic Algorithms
Ensembles of classifiers are often used to achieve accuracy greater than any single classifier. The predictions of these classifiers are typically combined together by uniform or weighted voting. In this paper, we approach the ensembles construction under a multi-agent framework. Each individual agent is capable of learning from data, and the agents can either be homogenous (same learning algor...
متن کاملEvolutionary Selection of Individual Expectations and Aggregate Outcomes∗
In recent ‘learning to forecast’ experiments with human subjects of Hommes, et al. (2005), three different patterns in aggregate price behavior have been observed: slow monotonic convergence, permanent price oscillations and dampened price fluctuations. These different aggregate outcomes are at odds with a representative agent who is fully rational or employs a single adaptive learning rule. We...
