We study the problem of online multitask learning for solving multiple related classification tasks in parallel, aiming at classifying every sequence of data received by each task accurately and efficiently. One practical example of online multitask learning is the micro-blog sentiment detection on a group of users, which classifies micro-blog posts generated by each user into emotional or non-emotional categories. This particular online learning task is challenging for a number of reasons. First of all, to meet the critical requirements of online applications, a highly efficient and scalable classification solution that can make immediate predictions with low learning cost is …

A Continuous Learning Strategy For Self-Organizing Maps Based On Convergence Windows, Gregory T. Breard
Senior Honors Projects
A self-organizing map (SOM) is a type of artificial neural network that has applications in a variety of fields and disciplines. The SOM algorithm uses unsupervised learning to produce a low-dimensional representation of high- dimensional data. This is done by 'fitting' a grid of nodes to a data set over a fixed number of iterations. With each iteration, the nodes of the map are adjusted so that they appear more like the data points. The low-dimensionality of the resulting map means that it can be presented graphically and be more intuitively interpreted by humans. However, it is still essential to …

The autonomously trading agents described in this paper produce a decision to act such as: buy, sell or hold, based on the input data. In this work, we have simulated autonomously trading agents using the Echo State Network (ESNs) model. We generate a collection of trading agents that use different trading strategies using Evolutionary Programming (EP). The agents are tested on EUR/ USD real market data. The main goal of this study is to test the overall performance of this collection of agents when they are active simultaneously. Simulation results show that using different agents concurrently outperform a single agent …

In this paper we describe Learning Behavior Trees, an extension of the popular game AI scripting technique. Behavior Trees provide an effective way for expert designers to describe complex, in-game agent behaviors. Scripted AI captures human intuition about the structure of behavioral decisions, but suffers from brittleness and lack of the natural variation seen in human players. Learning Behavior Trees are designed by a human designer, but then are trained by observation of players performing the same role, to introduce human-like variation to the decision structure. We show that, using this model, a single hand-designed Behavior Tree can cover a …
