Abstract: A single policy can be trained to handle the user selection of parameters across a predetermined range for each component of an artificial intelligent agent within a domain. The agent can be trained across a number of weights within the desired range for each component. These weights determine how much of a reward portion for each component should be considered by the agent during training. Thus, an improved formulation can be realized for UVFA-like goals based on compositional reward functions parameterized by their components' weights. Additionally, a set of reward components has been determined for the domain of autonomous racing games that, when combined with the improved UVFA formulation, allows training a single racing agent that generalizes over continuous behaviors in multiple dimensions. This can be used by game designers to tune the skill and personality of a trained agent.

Abstract: A method for transmitting node data in a wireless meshed network from a plurality of wireless nodes to at least one consolidating node includes assigning each of the plurality of wireless nodes to one of a plurality of node pools and causing each of the plurality of wireless nodes to transmit node data to one or more other wireless nodes and/or the at least one consolidating node during the assigned time slots. Each wireless node transmits its node data during timeslots which are adjacent to timeslots during which a wireless node from another node pool transmits its node data. The node data for each wireless node includes data originating at the wireless node and node data received from another wireless node of the same node pool which are linearly aggregated using network coding.
