Abstract :
An algorithm that learns to partition the state-space for a machine learned control application is presented, and the idea of competitive learning, a form of unsupervised learning, is introduced. A theoretical framework for a partitioning algorithm that is based on the neural network competitive learning model of T. kohonen´s feature maps (1982, 1984) is developed. This algorithm is aimed at partitioning the BOXES machine learning algorithm. The goal was to enhance the functionality and the learning capability of BOXES by testing partitioning strategies. The modified BOXES algorithm did show an improved learning performance when compared to BOXES but needs to be tested against other known learning algorithms before its capabilities are judged
