    Pruning dominated policies in multiobjective Pareto Q-learning

    Get PDF
    The solution for a Multi-Objetive Reinforcement Learning problem is a set of Pareto optimal policies. MPQ-learning is a recent algorithm that approximates the whole set of all Pareto-optimal deterministic policies by directly generalizing Q-learning to the multiobjective setting. In this paper we present a modification of MPQ-learning that avoids useless cyclical policies and thus improves the number of training steps required for convergence.Supported by: the Spanish Government, Agencia Estatal de Investigaci´on (AEI) and European Union, Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER), grant TIN2016-80774-R (AEI/FEDER, UE); and Plan Propio de Investigación de la Universidad de Málaga - Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech

    Learning Bayesian Networks for Student Modeling

    Get PDF
    In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in using Bayesian Networks (BN) in the student modelling problem. This increased interest is probably due to the fact that BNs provide a sound methodology for this difficult task. In order to develop a Bayesian student model, it is necessary to define the structure (nodes and links) and the parameters. Usually the structure can be elicited with the help of human experts (teachers), but the difficulty of the problem of parameter specification is widely recognized in this and other domains. In the work presented here we have performed a set of experiments to compare the performance of two Bayesian Student Models, whose parameters have been specified by experts and learnt from data respectively. Results show that both models are able to provide reasonable estimations for knowledge variables in the student model, in spite of the small size of the dataset available for learning the parametersUniversidad de Málaga.

    Context-aware Assessment Using QR-codes

    Get PDF
    In this paper we present the implementation of a general mechanism to deliver tests based on mobile devices and matrix codes. The system is an extension of Siette, and has not been specifically developed for any subject matter. To evaluate the performance of the system and show some of its capabilities, we have developed a test for a second-year college course on Botany at the School of Forestry Engineering. Students were equipped with iPads and took an outdoor test on plant species identification. All students were able to take and complete the test in a reasonable time. Opinions expressed anonymously by the students in a survey about the usability of the system and the usefulness of the test were very favorable. We think that the application presented in this paper can broaden the applicability of automatic assessment techniques.The presentation of this work has been co-founded by the Universidad de Málaga.

    A temporal difference method for multi-objective reinforcement learning

    Get PDF
    This work describes MPQ-learning, an temporal-difference method that approximates the set of all non-dominated policies in multi-objective Markov decision problems, where rewards are vectors and each component stands for an objective to maximize. Unlike other approximations to Multi-objective Reinforcement Learning, MPQ-learning does not require additional parameters or preference information, and can be applied to non-convex Pareto frontiers. We also present the results of the application of MPQ-learning to some benchmark problems and compare it to a linearization procedure.This work is partially funded by grants TIN2009-14179 (Spanish Government, Plan Nacional de I+D+i) and TIN2016-80774-R (AEI/FEDER, UE) (Spanish Government, Agencia Estatal de Investigación; and European Union, Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional).

    Multi-objective dynamic programming with limited precision

    Get PDF
    This paper addresses the problem of approximating the set of all solutions for Multi-objective Markov Decision Processes. We show that in the vast majority of interesting cases, the number of solutions is exponential or even infinite. In order to overcome this difficulty we propose to approximate the set of all solutions by means of a limited precision approach based on White’s multi-objective value-iteration dynamic programming algorithm. We prove that the number of calculated solutions is tractable and show experimentally that the solutions obtained are a good approximation of the true Pareto front.Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málaga / CBUA.

    Using machine learning techniques for architectural design tracking: An experimental study of the design of a shelter

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we present a study aimed at tracking and analysing the design process. More concretely, we intend to explore whether some elements of the conceptual design stage in architecture might have an influence on the quality of the final project and to find and assess common solution pathways in problem-solving behaviour. In this sense, we propose a new methodology for design tracking, based on the application of data analysis and machine learning techniques to data obtained in snapshots of selected design instants. This methodology has been applied in an experimental study, in which fifty-two novice designers were required to design a shelter with the help of a specifically developed computer tool that allowed collecting snapshots of the project at six selected design instants. The snapshots were described according to nine variables. Data analysis and machine learning techniques were then used to extract the knowledge contained in the data. More concretely, supervised learning techniques (decision trees) were used to find strategies employed in higher-quality designs, while unsupervised learning techniques (clustering) were used to find common solution pathways. Results provide evidence that supervised learning techniques allow elucidating the class of the best projects by considering the order of some of the decisions taken. Also, unsupervised learning techniques can find several common problem-solving pathways by grouping projects into clusters that use similar strategies. In this way, our work suggests a novel approach to design tracking, using quantitative analysis methods that can complement and enrich the traditional qualitative approachThis work has been partially funded by the Spanish Government, Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI), and the European Union, Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER), grant TIN2016-80774-R (AEI/FEDER, UE).
