Reinforcement learning (RL) is a paradigm which involves an agent interacting with an environment. The agent carries out actions in the environment and receives positive reinforcement for actions that are deemed “good” and ...

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) is a powerful Machine Learning paradigm, where multiple autonomous agents can learn to improve the performance of a system through experience. The majority of MARL implementations ...

Entities such as people, locations, organizations play a key role in natural language understanding. Most of the approaches that deal with natural language processing tasks, require a method to measure the relatedness ...

Evolutionary neural networks combine two of the most powerful areas of computing, evolutionary algorithms and neural networks. There are a number of benefits of using evolutionary algorithms to train a network over traditional ...

Recent trends towards data-driven methods may require a substantial rethinking of the process of developing simulation models. For instance, Machine Learning (ML) has demonstrated great potentials for constructing new ...

In this thesis, the focus is on multi-source, multi-platform media synchronisation on a single device. Multimedia synchronisation is a broad research area with many facets across many multimedia application types. With ...

In this thesis the development of a computer system capable of generating art through the process of analogy is presented. A visual display is generated analogous to a given piece of music. This analogy is based upon the ...

The current generation of neural network-based natural language processing models excels at learning from large amounts of labelled data. Given these capabilities, natural language processing is increasingly applied to new ...

Researchers in many domains use social dilemmas to explore the conditions necessary for cooperation to emerge among groups. Social dilemmas, and in particular the Prisoner’s Dilemma, are used because of their usefulness ...

As new technological concepts appear and evolve, cyberattack surfaces and vectors are exploited. Every Internet facing device or service is vulnerable from the untrusted external Internet. Previously standalone devices are ...
