Ethology-Based Approximate Adaptive Learning

, 2012
The problem considered in this chapter is how to use the observed behavior of organisms as a basis for machine learning. The proposed approach for machine learning combines near sets and ethology. It leads to novel forms of Q-learning algorithm that have

Ethology and suicidal behaviour

, 2000
It is over 40 years since initial reference to ethology was made in regard to suicidal behaviour. In the 1950s, tentative analogies were drawn from the then new principles of ethology, following which there were several theoretical formulations based on ...

Done deal—cohabiting dominant and subordinate dogs differently rely on familiar demonstrators in a detour task

BMC Biology
Background Companion dogs live in a mixed-species environment, where they can successfully learn from both humans and dogs. Breed type, the demonstrator’s behavior, and in multi-dog households, the dogs’ hierarchy are known influencing factors of the ...
