An adaptive learning framework for efficient emergence of social norms

Copyright © 2016, International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (www.ifaamas.org). All rights reserved.This paper investigates how norm emergence can be facilitated by agents' adaptive learning behaviors. A general learning framework is proposed, in which agents can dynamically adapt their learning behaviors through social learning of their individual learning experience. Experimental results indicate that the proposed framework outperforms the static learning framework in various comparison criteria.
