Author:Rosman, Benjamin S; Ramamoorthy, SDate:Apr 2015An agent tasked with solving a number of different decision making problems in similar environments has an opportunity to learn over a longer timescale than each individual task. Through examining solutions to different tasks, it can uncover ...Read more
Author:Mouton, H; Roodt, J; Le Roux, HDate:Dec 2011The modern battlefield is a fast-paced, information-rich environment, where discovery of intent, situation awareness and the rapid evolution of concepts of operation and doctrine are critical success factors. A combination of the techniques ...Read more
Author:Marom, O; Rosman, Benjamin SDate:Feb 2018A key challenge in many reinforcement learning problems is delayed rewards, which can significantly slow down learning. Although reward shaping has previously been introduced to accelerate learning by bootstrapping an agent with additional ...Read more
Author:Oyewobi, SS; Hancke, GP; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Onumanyi, Adeiza JDate:Mar 2019The overcrowding of the wireless space has triggered a strict competition for scare network resources. Therefore, there is a need for a dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technique that will ensure fair allocation of the available network resources ...Read more
Author:Earle, AC; Saxe, AM; Rosman, Benjamin SDate:Aug 2017Hierarchical reinforcement learning methods offer a powerful means of planning flexible behavior in complicated domains. However, learning an appropriate hierarchical decomposition of a domain into subtasks remains a substantial challenge. ...Read more

Author:Saxe, AM; Earle, AC; Rosman, Benjamin SDate:Aug 2017Hierarchical architectures are critical to the scalability of reinforcement learning methods. Most current hierarchical frameworks execute actions serially, with macro-actions comprising sequences of primitive actions. We propose a novel ...Read more
Author:Crafford, Gerhardus J; Rosman, BDate:Nov 2022Different reinforcement learning (RL) methods exist to address the problem of combining multiple different learners to generate a superior learner. These existing methods usually assume that each learner uses the same algorithm and/or state ...Read more
Author:Rosman, Benjamin SDate:Jun 2014Recent trends in robotics have seen more general purpose robots being deployed in unstructured environments for prolonged periods of time. Such robots are expected to adapt to different environmental conditions, and ultimately take on a broader ...Read more
Author:Adetunji, KE; Hofsajer, IW; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Cheng, LDate:Nov 2022Achieving a sustainable and efficient power systems network and decarbonized environment involves the optimal allocation of multiple distributed energy resource (DERs) unit types and flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) ...Read more
Author:Adetunji, KE; Hofsajer, IW; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Cheng, LDate:Sep 2022In developing a sustainable and efficient power systems network while reducing carbon footprint, renewable energy (RE)-based Distribution Generation (DG) units are highly recommended. Furthermore, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and ...Read more
Author:Khumalo, Nosipho N; Oyerinde, O; Mfupe, Luzango PDate:Apr 2020Fog computing has emerged as one of the key building blocks of fifth generation mobile networks (5G) because of its ability to effectively meet the demands of real-time or latency-sensitive applications. To introduce fog in 5G, particularly ...Read more
