Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Baltimore, MD Researcher for Intelligent Optics Lab ARL. Provide technical expertise in the design of an interfaced between 802.3 and PECL, ECL, TTL, optical PPM signals. The optical PPM signals were used in a free space high speed optical communications system to improve battlefield communications. Further duties include reducing error in the system using a Q learning MEMS device (developed by Dr. Cauwenberghs at Adaptive Microsystems Laboratory at JHU) for on-line correction of aberration of optical propagation in atmospheric media. Researcher on Artificial Intelligence under Dr. Cauwenberghs. Vector Based Q-learning is based on The Q-learning algorithm by Watkins '92. Q-learning is a more popular and very effective model-free for learning from delayed reinforcement. Using a vector based storage for state collection in conjunction of low-pass filters for state set selection, large state and/or action spaces can be managed. The storage system is IBM DB2 database (SQL allows for efficient set math). Vector modeling allows for more complex learning in more complex environments and navigation of those environments.
