Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Robotics by Vincent, Caroline R.

“…However, the coordination required in multi-agent systems demands complex motion planning to deconflict actions and prevent collisions of vehicles moving at increasingly high speeds. This thesis explores the application of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to autonomous robotics by teaching a central controller to navigate multiple agents across various environments without collisions. …”

Three things everyone should know to improve object retrieval by Arandjelović, R, Zisserman, A

“…We evaluate these three methods over a number of standard benchmark datasets (Oxford Buildings 5k and 105k, and Paris 6k) and demonstrate substantial improvements in retrieval performance whilst maintaining immediate retrieval speeds. Combining these complementary methods achieves a new state-of-the-art performance on these datasets.…”

Synchronization control of complex spatio-temporal networks based on fractional-order hyperbolic PDEs with delayed coupling and space-varying coefficients by Yang, Chengyan, Wang, Jin, Jian, Muwei, Dai, Jiashu

“…For time-varying delayed cases, synchronization conditions of FCSNHSPDEs are presented via spatial algebraic LMIs (SALMIs), which are related to time delay varying speeds. Finally, two examples show the validity of the control approaches.…”
