[comp.ai.neural-nets] Adaptive Heuristic Critic

sammut@qut.edu.au (David Sammut) (02/21/91)

During the past couple of days I have been attempting to implement the
Adaptive Heuristic Critic (AHC) for a control problem (which is teaching
a computer simulation of a man to walk - Any Comments/Advice?). Unfortunately
the texts I am using supply only implementation details (i.e. How to do it) or
give incomplete discussions on it.  Could someone please send me some
references on the AHC more to do with "Why it works".

The texts that I am using are:

Simpson, Patrick K., "Artificial Neural Systems", Pergamon Press, 1990.
(Covers all major and most minor neural networks implementation-wise)

Maren, Harston, & Pap, "Handbook of Neural Computing Applications",
Academic Press, 1990. (Mainly Chapter 22 by Werbos)
(Broad view of the applications of neural nets and how they are (and can)
 be applied)


If anyone out there could help me I would be very grateful.


Thanks in advance

David Sammut
