Learning Monitoring Strategies: A Difficult Genetic Programming Application

Learning Monitoring Strategies: A Di cult Genetic Programming Application

| Finding optimal or at least good monitoring strategies is an important consideration when designing an agent. We have applied genetic programming to this task, with mixed results. Since the agent control language was kept purposefully general, the set of monitoring strategies constitutes only a small part of the overall space of possible behaviors. Because of this, it was often di cult for th...

An Application of Genetic Network Programming Model for Pricing of Basket Default Swaps (BDS)

The credit derivatives market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. As such, there is a growing interest in tools for pricing of the most prominent credit derivative, the credit default swap (CDS). In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for pricing of basket default swaps (BDS). For this purpose, genetic network programming (GNP), which is one of the recent evolutiona...

Application of Genetic Programming as a Powerful Tool for Modeling of Cellulose Acetate Membrane Preparation

Application of Genetic Programming to Modeling and Prediction of Activity Coefficient Ratio of Electrolytes in Aqueous Electrolyte Solution Containing Amino Acids

Genetic programming (GP) is one of the computer algorithms in the family of evolutionary-computational methods, which have been shown to provide reliable solutions to complex optimization problems. The genetic programming under discussion in this work relies on tree-like building blocks, and thus supports process modeling with varying structure. In this paper the systems containing amino ac...

Genetic Programming to Learn an Agent’s Monitoring Strategy

Many tasks require an agent to monitor its environment, but little is known about appropriate monitoring strategies to use in particular situations. Our approach is to learn good monitoring strategies with a genetic programming algorithm. To this end, we have developed a simple agent programming language in which we represent monitoring strategies as programs that control a simulated robot, and...
