The Teachingbox uses advanced machinelearning techniques to relieve developers from the programming of hand-crafted sophisticated behaviors of autonomous agents (such as robots, game players etc...) In the current status we have implemented a well founded reinforcement learning core in Java with many popular usecases, environments, policies and learners.

Using reinforcement learning with relative input to train Ms. Pac-Man
This Java-application contains all required components to simulate a game of Ms. Pac-Man and let an agent learn intelligent playing behaviour using reinforcement learning and either Q-Learning or SARSA.
The framework was developed by Luuk Bom and Ruud Henken, under supervision of Marco Wiering, Department of Artificial Intelligence, University of Groningen. It formed the basis of a bachelor's thesis titled "Using reinforcement learning with relative input to train Ms. Pac-Man", L.A.M. Bom (2012).
