Cribbage is a game that my mother, my grandparents, and I play fairly regularly, thus it made sense to try and explore the world of reinforcement learning through the lense of cribbage. This project was my first real stab at reinforcement learning, and is thus has some room for improvement (as seen by the noisy…

This project was completed for the final project of “CSE 5820: Advanced Machine Learning” at UConn. At the time I was, and still am, interested in the idea of reinforcement learning agents who can learn to complete tasks out of “curiosity” rather than as a result of pure, Skinner-esque reinforcement. The project is a surface…

This project was also completed as a final project, but for “Math 3710: Mathematical Modeling” at UConn. The project is fairly informal, but is an interesting exploration of the Boids algorithm, an algorithm used to simulate the flocking behavior of birds and fish.
