This article introduces a model-based reinforcement learning (RL) approach for continuous state and action spaces. While most RL methods try to find closed-form policies, the approach taken here employs numerical on-line optimization of control action sequences. First, a general method for reformulating RL problems as optimization tasks is provided. Subsequently, Particle Swarm Optimization (PS...

The aim of this paper is to present the historical background of artificial life based stochastic optimization algorithms from the viewpoint of Neumann’s Self-reproduction scheme. The theory of evolutionary and swarm optimization are overviewed and compared from this viewpoint. A detailed application example is given to demonstrate how these tools can be applied to solve process optimization pr...

Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) algorithm was put forward in 2006. Despite a faster convergence speed compared with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, the application of CSO is greatly limited by the drawback of "premature convergence," that is, the possibility of trapping in local optimum when dealing with nonlinear optimization problem with a large number of local extreme values. In or...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is a kind of random optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence. Swarm intelligence of PSO is produced by cooperation and competition between particles, which is used for guiding optimization search. PSO has been studied widely in many applications due to its good global searching ability. Currently PSO has been widely used in function optimiza...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an optimization approach from the field of artificial intelligence. A population of so-called particles moves through the parameter space defined by the optimization problem, searching for good solutions. Inspired by natural swarms, the movements of the swarm members depend on own experiences and on the experiences of adjacent particles. PSO algorithms are m...
