Learning in a dynamic, uncertain, multi-agent setting is a challenging task. In this work, we demonstrate techniques to convert noisy run-time activity into procedures useful for future problem-solving activities. The cooperative procedures created by this conversion process are stored in an agent resource called collective memory. We show how this memory enables agents to learn cooperative pro...

A major goal of research on networks of neuron-like processing units is to discover efficient learning procedures that allow these networks to construct complex internal representations of their environment. The learning procedures must be capable of modifying the connection strengths in such a way that internal units which are not part of the input or output come to represent important feature...
