My research aim is to look AI system as same kind of system to Social system and biology. I think they are come from same origin and share many similar properties - most important of all - their inclination to orderness. From this view, AI problem, economic problem, ecological problem, physiological problem are problems with similar interior core, and many research methods and thought can be borrowed among them.

For a simple but meaningful start point, I'm now focused on Hierarchy in AI systems. Please look at a general induction for it.

Hierarchical Learning

- Hierarchical learning in Multi Agent System

• Markov Game -> My presentation on Introduction of Markov Game, Nov 14, 2002
• Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning
• The Evolution of Cooperation: from a sociobiology view
• Hierarchical formation in MAS: from a ecology view

what to do recently ? (2002-08-09)

• Team formation
• Basic Game Theory
• A General RealAgent!

- Hierarchical learning in Genetic Algorithm

• Hierarchy in Selection: Social/Ecological structure in population
• Hierarchy in Coding: Behavior Evolution in GA (BEGA)
  • Genetic Programming
  • Implement: GPC++ etc ...

- Hierarchical learning in Neural Network
