Reinforcement learning of normative monitoring intensities (2016)
Journal Article
Li, J., Meneguzzi, F., Fagundes, M., & Logan, B. (2016). Reinforcement learning of normative monitoring intensities. Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, 9628, 209-223. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42691-4_12

Choosing actions within norm-regulated environments involves balancing achieving one’s goals and coping with any penalties for non-compliant behaviour. This choice becomes more complicated in environments where there is uncertainty. In this paper, we... Read More about Reinforcement learning of normative monitoring intensities.

The future as a design problem (2016)
Journal Article
Reeves, S., Goulden, M., & Dingwall, R. (2016). The future as a design problem. Design Issues, 32(3), 6-17. https://doi.org/10.1162/DESI_a_00395

An often unacknowledged yet foundational problem for design is how ‘futures‘ are recruited for design practice. This problem saturates considerations of what could or should be designed. We distinguish two intertwined approaches to this: ‘pragmatic p... Read More about The future as a design problem.
