"Classifier Systems for Situated Autonomous Learning"
Gary Roberts
Dept of AI
Edinburgh University
Abstract:
Intelligent control of an autonomous agent situated within some
environment is a difficult task. I have investigated the use of
genetic algorithms and classifier systems for control of autonomous
agents within simple simulated environments. Extensive comparisons
have been made between the performance of a simple classifier system
and classifier systems that have been modified to make use of explicit
world models and planning strategies (including simple lookahead and
methods developed from Q-Learning and Dyna Q-Learning). The results
point up an interesting dichotomy about the utility of experimentation
within real world and simulated environments.
