| Research Abstract |
A.Research Results on Evolutionary Computation
・We proposed a robust real-coded GA using the combination of two crossovers, UNDX-m and EDX. It can deal both ridge-structure function whose dimension reaches more than hundreds and multi-peak functions.
・We proposed a new evolutionary algorithm called ANS (Adaptive neighboring Search) with a crossover-like mutation to optimize high dimensional deceptive multimodal functions.
・We found a hypothesis call "UV-phenomenon" which explains failures of global search by GA. It suggests UV-structures as hard landscape structures that will cause the UV-phenomenon.
B.Research Results on Reinforcement Learning
・We proposed a new crossover LUNDX-m which uses only in-dimensional latent variables. LUNDX-m can treat with high-dimensional ill-scaled structures called k -tablet structure.
・In multi-agent reinforcement learning systems, it is important how to share a reward among all agents. We derived the necessary and sufficient condition to preserve the rationality to realize cooperative behaviors.
・We proposed a policy function representation that consists of a stochastic binary decision tree. We applied it to an actor-critic algorithm for the problems that have enormous similar actions.
・We investigated a reinforcement learning of walking behavior for a four-legged robot. We presented. a new actor-critic algorithm, in which the actor selects a continuous action from its bounded action space by using the normal distribution.
・We proposed a new simulation-based distributed reinforcement learning approach that solves large planning problems under uncertain environment. We applied it to real sewerage control systems.
