Direct Mutation and Crossover in Genetic Algorithms Applied to Reinforcement Learning Tasks
Tarek Faycal, Claudio Zito
Neuroevolution has recently been shown to be quite competitive in reinforcement learning (RL) settings, and is able to alleviate some of the drawbacks of gradient-based approaches.…
Dyna-T: Dyna-Q and Upper Confidence Bounds Applied to Trees
Tarek Faycal, Claudio Zito
In this work we present a preliminary investigation of a novel algorithm called Dyna-T. In reinforcement learning (RL) a planning agent has its own representation of the environmen…
Multi-Hypothesis Scan Matching through Clustering
Giorgio Iavicoli, Claudio Zito
Graph-SLAM is a well-established algorithm for constructing a topological map of the environment while simultaneously attempting the localisation of the robot. It relies on scan ma…
Underwater Object Classification and Detection: first results and open challenges
Andre Jesus, Claudio Zito, Claudio Tortorici +2
This work reviews the problem of object detection in underwater environments. We analyse and quantify the shortcomings of conventional state-of-the-art (SOTA) algorithms in the com…
Statistical Context-Dependent Units Boundary Correction for Corpus-based Unit-Selection Text-to-Speech
Claudio Zito, Fabio Tesser, Mauro Nicolao +1
In this study, we present an innovative technique for speaker adaptation in order to improve the accuracy of segmentation with application to unit-selection Text-To-Speech (TTS) sy…
Aging Touch: Systematic and Unbiased Presentation of Tactile Stimuli
Claudio Zito
This report presents the experimental methodology and a step-by-step guide for gathering data on how aging influences tactile surface perception in decision and action. The experim…
