Selection of Imitation Strategies in Populations When to Learn or When to Replicate?
A question in the modeling of populations of imitators is if simple imitation or imitation based on learning rules can improve the fitness of the individuals. In this investigation this problem is analyzed for two kinds of imitators involved in a cooperative dilemma: One kind of imitators has a replicator heuristics, i.e. individuals which decide its new action based on actions of their neighbo...
متن کاملWhen to rebuild or when to adjust scorecards
Data based scorecards, such as those used in credit scoring, age with time and need to be rebuilt or readjusted. Unlike the huge literature on modelling the replacement and maintenance of equipment there have been hardly any models which deal with this problem for scorecards. This paper identifies an effective way of describing the predictive ability of the scorecard and from this describes a s...
متن کاملDialysis: when to start or when to stop?
Sir, There have been several recent discussions around the timing of initiation of dialysis [1,2]. There remains little scientific consensus on when to start and on which clinical and biochemical parameters we base this decision. In the broadest sense, dialysis should serve to decrease morbidity and/or mortality whilst maintaining or improving quality of life. It is almost assumed that renal re...
متن کاملInteractively Learning Strategies for Handling References to Unseen or Unknown Objects
In this paper we extend an interactive task learning agent to a mobile robot in a large, multi-room environment. In such an environment, the instructor may make verbal references to objects that are unseen or unknown. We describe a comprehensive approach to this problem that combines reference resolution, object finding, and anchoring. We also demonstrate how some of these capabilities can be e...
متن کاملTo Cooperate or Not to Cooperate: Why Behavioural Mechanisms Matter
Mutualistic cooperation often requires multiple individuals to behave in a coordinated fashion. Hence, while the evolutionary stability of mutualistic cooperation poses no particular theoretical difficulty, its evolutionary emergence faces a chicken and egg problem: an individual cannot benefit from cooperating unless other individuals already do so. Here, we use evolutionary robotic simulation...
