While greedy best-first search (GBFS) is a popular algorithm for solving automated planning tasks, it can exhibit poor performance if the heuristic in use mistakenly identifies a region of the search space as promising. In such cases, the way the algorithm greedily trusts the heuristic can cause...

Reinforcement Learning is a formalism for learning by trial and error. Unfortunately, trial and error can take a long time to find a solution if the agent does not efficiently explore the behaviours available to it. Moreover, how an agent ought to explore depends on the task that the agent is...

Estabrooks, C.A., Norton, P.G., Cummings, G.G., Squires, J.E., Birdsell, J.M.
Background: The context of healthcare organizations such as hospitals is increasingly accepted as having the potential to influence the use of new knowledge. However, the mechanisms by which the organizational context influences evidence-based practices are not well understood. Current measures...

In the reinforcement learning (RL) problem an agent must learn how to act optimally through trial-and-error interactions with a complex, unknown, stochastic environment. The actions taken by the agent influence not just the immediate reward it observes but also the future states and rewards it...

Graphite Nanoplatelet Filler-Modified Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Thermal Transport Enhancement
DownloadFall 2017
The use of polymers in applications such as electronic packaging, heat exchangers, and thermal pastes is limited by their inability to dissipate accumulated heat effectively. Nano-scale filler modifiers may be used to improve the transport of thermal energy through polymer materials. Studies of...

Movement and settlement patterns of animal offspring, along with the costs of occupying familiar and unfamiliar habitats, have been inferred frequently, but rarely have they been documented directly. To obtain such information, we monitored the individual fates of 205 (94%) of the 219 offspring...

Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials with tailored properties for applications in imaging, sensing, waveguiding and quantum optics. Even though they hold the potential for transformative impact, industrial applications have been impeded by large absorption losses in material...
