Hisoma: A Hierarchical Multi-Agent Model Integrating Self-Organizing Neural Networks With Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning, Minghong Geng, Shubham Pateria, Budhitama Subagdja, Ah-Hwee Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (MADRL) has shown remarkable advancements in the past decade. However, most current MADRL models focus on task-specific short-horizon problems involving a small number of agents, limiting their applicability to long-horizon planning in complex environments. Hierarchical multi-agent models offer a promising solution by organizing agents into different levels, effectively addressing tasks with varying planning horizons. However, these models often face constraints related to the number of agents or levels of hierarchies. This paper introduces HiSOMA, a novel hierarchical multi-agent model designed to handle long-horizon, multi-agent, multi-task decision-making problems. The top-level controller, FALCON, is modeled as a class …

Standing At The Crossroads: An Analysis Of The Circuit Split Over Ada Tester Standing, Jennifer Tedisco

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

This Article analyzes the circuit split concerning whether self-appointed testers without intent to travel or book a reservation have Article III standing to sue hotels forfailing to disclose accessibility information on their websites in violation of an Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") regulation. This Article ultimately argues that these testers should have standing under an informational injury and/or stigmatic injury rationale. However, negative perceptions ofADA testers coupled with the Supreme Court's recent standing decisions haveput the private enforcement of the ADA and other disability rights statutes in jeopardy. In hopes ofpreserving the ability oftesters to bring suit against hotels and …

Phenotypic Variations In T. Repens (White Clover) Leaf Pigmentation, Danielle Sommerman '25, Chiamaka Nbubuokwu '27, Rose Keith

Annual Student Research Poster Session

There is a known variation in patterning amongst the leaves of variegated plants. The reasons as to why this polymorphism occurs has long been debated by botanists and biologists, but some hypotheses include thermoregulation, ultraviolet protection, and pollinator attraction among others (Kuo et al., 2024). We hypothesized that physical location may play a role in the leaf variegation of Trifolium repens (white clover). Starting mid July of 2024, we collected sample leaflets from multiple local populations from three distinct sites in Greencastle, IN. After collecting, we looked at the frequency of chevron presence as well as the size of the …
