Is social norms marketing effective?: A case study in domestic electricity consumption (2013)
Journal Article
Chambers, S., Harries, T., Rettie, R., Burchell, K., & Studley, M. (2013). Is social norms marketing effective?: A case study in domestic electricity consumption. European Journal of Marketing, 47(9), 1458-1475. https://doi.org/10.1108/EJM-10-2011-0568

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present details of a large-scale experiment that evaluated the impact of communicating two types of feedback to householders regarding their domestic electricity consumption: feedback on their own consumption...

Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems (2007)
Journal Article
Studley, M., & Bull, L. (2007). Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems. Artificial Life, 13(1), 69-86. https://doi.org/10.1162/artl.2007.13.1.69

We investigate the performance of a learning classifier system in some simple multi-objective, multi-step maze problems, using both random and biased action-selection policies for exploration. Results show that the choice of action-selection policy c... Read More about Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems.

Accuracy-based learning classifier system ensembles with rule-sharing (2007)
Journal Article
Bull, L., Studley, M., Bagnall, A., & Whittley, I. (2007). Accuracy-based learning classifier system ensembles with rule-sharing. IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 11(4), 496-502. https://doi.org/10.1109/TEVC.2006.885163

Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) are a method of evolving compact rule-sets using reinforcement learning. This paper presents an investigation into exploiting the population-based nature of LCS for their use within highly-parallel systems, such as...

X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics (2005)
Journal Article
Studley, M., & Bull, L. (2005). X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics. https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2005.1554954

Although most learning classifier system (LCS) research uses the accuracy-based XCS, it had never been used to control a physical robot before. In comparison to purely evolutionary or purely reinforcement learning approaches, an LCS should be faster... Read More about X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics.
