Personalization of web sites has become an important issue in web modeling methods. Many of these methods use similar approaches to specify personalization. However even with similar (personalization) requirements the resulting implementations differ. The consequence is that we cannot reuse…

Reinforcement-based agents have difficulties in transferring their acquired knowledge into new different environments due to the common identities-based percept representation and the lack of appropriate generalization capabilities. In this paper, the problem of knowledge transferability is addressed by proposing an…
