Blind Source Separation Papers and Code

Blind Source Separation papers and matlab computer code.

Reinforcement Learning MatLab Code

MatLab code for reinforcement learning can be downloaded from here. This code implements the Markov chain example given on page 18 of RS Sutton's paper "Learning to predict by the methods of temporal differences" Machine Learning, 3, pp9-44, 1988.


Baldwin Effect MatLab Code

MatLab code for the Baldwin effect, as described in Hinton and Nowlan's paper, can be obtained on request.

Surely, God could have caused birds to fly with their bones made of solid gold, with their veins full of quicksilver, with their flesh heavier than lead, and with their wings exceedingly small. He did not, and that ought to show something. It is only in order to shield your ignorance that you put the Lord at every turn to the refuge of a miracle.
