We are happy to announce that the CIOP group of TH Köln participated with two papers and two talks at the 9th International Conference BIOMA'2020 (Bioinspired Optimization Methods and Applications), which took place November 2020, 19th-20th, and was this year a completely online event:

  1. "Reinforcement Learning for N-Player Games: The Importance of Final Adaptation" by Wolfgang Konen and Samineh Bagheri. The talk presented a new approach for game learning and game playing on a variety of games with 1, 2 and 3 players.
  2. "Time Series Encodings with Temporal Convolutional Networks" by Markus Thill, Wolfgang Konen and Thomas Bäck. The talk presented a deep learning approach for anomaly detection of otherwise hard-to-find temporal anomalies in time series.

Although a fully-online event, the single-track conference took place in a nice atmosphere, with many discussions and informal chats. A side effect of the online format was that each speaker was asked to record a backup video, which could be played in case of technical problems. Thus, if you missed the conference, you can nevertheless take a look at the paper, the slides and the video, if you like:

  1. "Reinforcement Learning for N-Player Games: The Importance of Final Adaptation": paper, slides, video (15 min)
  2. "Time Series Encodings with Temporal Convolutional Networks": paper, slides, video (15 min)
