I'm done!
As of November 14th, 2005, I have successfully completed my Master's thesis!
- Thesis:
A Java Reinforcement Learning Module for the Recursive Porous Agent
Simulation Toolkit: Facilitating study and experimentation with
reinforcement learning in multi-agent,social science simulations. ( PDF)
Current Work
Though I am done with the Master's program, I am
still involved in developing machine learning tools
for computational, agent-based, social science simulations.
Specifically, I am developing machine learning tools for use
in Agent-based Computational Economics simulations. For my thesis work I developed the Java Reinforcement
Learning Module (JReLM). JReLM is a framework for using reinforcement
learning in RepastJ, a Java platform for creating agent-based simulationsthat
is increasingly being used in the social sciences. I plan
to continue to further develop the module to meet the needs of the
ACE group of Iowa State University's Department of Economics.
Update:
Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to continue development of
JReLM until certain potential conflict of interest issues are resolved
with my job. For information or questions about JReLM, please email me
at JReLM.dev@gmail.com.
I have been working with professor Leigh
Tesfatsion on using JReLM in a number of ACE research simulations
built on RepastJ. In the past I have also been an assistant for
the Repast Study Group here at Iowa State as part of my involvement
with the ACE group.
Currently, I am in Albuquerque, New Mexico working
as a contractor at Respec Consulting & Services. I have been able
to continue similar work here in the development of adaptive agent
behavior methods for agent-based simulations, in addition to being
involved in other exciting projects. Most fortunately, I been given the
opportunity to work with a group of very talented and enthusiastic
people.
When I get the chance, I like to attend the FRIAM meetings in Santa Fe. Lots of interesting people and ideas come to the meetings and the mailing list.
