Reinforcement learning in populations of spiking neurons [PDF]

, 2008
Population coding is widely regarded as a key mechanism for achieving reliable behavioral responses in the face of neuronal variability. But in standard reinforcement learning a flip-side becomes apparent.

Energy-Efficient Gait Optimization of Snake-Like Modular Robots by Using Multiobjective Reinforcement Learning and a Fuzzy Inference System

IEEE Access, 2022
Snake-like modular robots (MRs) are highly flexible, but, to traverse a challenging terrain or explore a region of interest, MR needs to attain efficient locomotion depending on a tradeoff between objectives like forward velocity and power consumption of

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Highway Bridges under Scour and Chloride Ion Corrosion

Applied Sciences, 2022
Cross-river bridges located in seismically active areas are exposed to two major natural hazards, namely earthquakes and flooding. As the scour depth increases, more parts of the bridge substructure will inevitably be exposed to unfavorable conditions ...
