  • Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning of Spoken Dialogue Strategies
    Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning of Spoken Dialogue Strategies Dave Toney I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2007 Abstract From a system developer’s perspective, designing a spoken dialogue system can be a time-consuming and difficult process. A developer may spend a lot of time anticipating how a potential user might interact with the system and then deciding on the most appropriate system response. These decisions are encoded in a dialogue strategy, essentially a mapping between anticipated user inputs and appropriate system outputs. To reduce the time and effort associated with developing a dialogue strategy, recent work has concentrated on modelling the development of a dialogue strategy as a sequential decision problem. Using this model, reinforcement learning algorithms have been employed to generate dialogue strategies automatically. These algorithms learn strategies by interacting with simulated users. Some progress has been made with this method but a number of important challenges remain. For instance, relatively little success has been achieved with the large state representations that are typical of real- life systems. Another crucial issue is the time and effort associated with the creation of simulated users. In this thesis, I propose an alternative to existing reinforcement learning methods of dialogue strategy development. More specifically, I explore how XCS, an evolutionary reinforcement learning algorithm, can be used to find dialogue strategies that cover large state spaces. Furthermore, I suggest that hand-coded simulated users are sufficient for the learning of useful dialogue strategies.

  • Who Will Win the Most Prestigious Trophy in Aviation
    National Aeronautic Association FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Ivey, 703-527-0226 February 16, 2006 ECLIPSE AVIATION WINS 2005 COLLIER TROPHY Eclipse Aviation Corporation has won the 2005 Robert J. Collier Trophy "for the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America.” The 95 year-old trophy, aviation’s most prestigious award, will be presented to the company “for leadership, innovation, and the advancement of general aviation” in the production of very light jets, specifically, the Eclipse 500. Eclipse joins past winners of the trophy including Orville Wright, Howard Hughes, Chuck Yeager, Scott Crossfield, the crew of Apollo 11, and SpaceShipOne. The award has been administered by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) since 1911. Announcing the 2005 winner, NAA President and CEO David Ivey said the selection committee’s criteria included recognition of the rich heritage of the Collier Trophy, and “the spirit of entrepreneurship, technical innovation, and the impact on American aviation,” exemplified by the Eclipse 500. Led by Eclipse’s founder, president and CEO Vern Raburn, Eclipse is applying innovations created in the technology industry to drive down cost, increase performance, improve safety, and spur a new type of air travel—the air taxi. Innovations to the Eclipse 500 including friction stir welding, the PhostrEx™ fire suppression system, electromechanical actuators and digital electronics with integrated software. Perhaps the company’s greatest contribution is making jet technology available to a larger segment of the population. With an acquisition cost one-third of today’s small jets and the lowest operating cost per mile of any jet, the Eclipse 500 provides the lowest jet costs ever achieved.

This was the largest project ever at the airport since the original Airport (FIN) was constructed shortly after America was construction in 1942. The project encompassed 183 acres in order to thrust into war as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor relocate the runway 400’ south, shift it 800’ east, and extend it 501’ on December 7, 1941. When the airport was originally east. L constructed, it was called the Bulow Outlying Field The airport is currently in the design phase of a new 15,000 square (X47) and was utilized as a flight training base for NAS Jacksonville. foot GA Terminal facility. The terminal will accommodate airport Following WWII, in 1947 the airport was deeded to the Flagler administrative offices, a fixed base operator (FBO), public space, County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) by the War Assets meeting space, and room for additional tenants. The GA Terminal Administration, through the Surplus Property Act of 1944. Since that facility is the next step in the evolution of the airport. time, the airport has been a public use general aviation (GA) airport that is operated and maintained under the Flagler County BOCC. In 2016, a new airport logo was created that incorporated both the new airport name (Flagler Executive Airport) and the identifier (FIN). The rebranding reflects the transition to serve more corporate tenants and visitors, as well as the expansion of the airfield and services provided by the county-operated FBO.
