Three architectures for continuous action

Abstract

Three classifier system architectures are introduced that permit the systems to have continuous (non-discrete) actions. One is based on interpolation, the second on an actor-critic paradigm, and the third on treating the action as a continuous variable homogeneous with the input. While the last architecture appears most interesting and promising, all three offer potential directions toward continuous action, a goal that classifier systems have hardly addressed. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
