چکیده
Learning to recognize or predict sequences using long-term context has many applications. However, practical and theoretical problems are found in training recurrent neural networks to perform tasks in which input/output dependencies span long intervals. Starting from a mathematical analysis of the problem, we consider and compare alternative algorithms and architectures on tasks for which the span of the input/output dependencies can be controlled. Results on the new algorithms show performance qualitatively superior to that obtained with backpropagation.

متن کاملDiscounting of Letters of Credit; a Legal Analysis
Letter of Credit is an international payment instrument whereby the issuing bank undertakes to pay the beneficiary, against presentation of certain stipulated documents, according to the conditions of the Letter of Credit. Discounting of LC for the short-term financing of the seller, due to the independent and irrevocable undertaking of the bank to make payment, is prevalent. Beneficiary gets t...

متن کاملAlternatives for Classifier System Credit Assignment
Classifier systems are production rule systems that automatically generate populations of rules cooperating to accomplish desired tasks. The genetic algorithm is the systems' discovery mechanism, and its effectiveness is dependent in part on the accurate estimation of the relative merit of each of the rules (classifiers) in the current population. Merit is estimated conventionally by use of the...
متن کاملQUICR-Learning for Multi-Agent Coordination
Coordinating multiple agents that need to perform a sequence of actions to maximize a system level reward requires solving two distinct credit assignment problems. First, credit must be assigned for an action taken at time step t that results in a reward at time step t′ > t. Second, credit must be assigned for the contribution of agent i to the overall system performance. The first credit assig...
