How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Multiagent Learning: Basics, Challenges, and Prospects (2012, background): “Techniques explored in these first multiagent learning contexts were early ant systems and flocking or herding behavior (Manderick and Moyson 1988; Colorni, Dorigo, and Maniezzo 1992; Banerjee 1992), evolutionary computation (Manderick and Spiessens 1989; Steels 1987, 1988; Paredis 1995), social lea”
Bayesian just-so stories in psychology and neuroscience. (2012, methodology): “For example, Thorpe and Imbert (1989) pointed out that there at least 10 synapses separating the retina from object and face selective cells in the inferior temporal cortex and that neurons at each stage cannot generate more than one or two spikes in 10 ms.”
On the biological plausibility of grandmother cells: implications for neural network theories in psychology and neuroscience. (2009, background): “However, Thorpe and Imbert (1989) challenged this claim.”
The neural basis of human error processing: reinforcement learning, dopamine, and the error-related negativity. (2002, background): “Demonstrating the existence of biological error signals is fundamentally important to computational neuroscience (Crick, 1989; Thorpe & Imbert, 1989).”
