What is Ethogram

The problem considered in this chapter is how to use the observed behavior of organisms as a basis for machine learning. The proposed approach for machine learning combines near sets and ethology. It leads to novel forms of Q-learning algorithm that have practical applications in the controlling the behavior of machines, which learn to adapt to changing environments. Both traditional and new forms of adaptive learning theory and applications are considered in this chapter. A complete framework for an ethology-based approximate adaptive learning is established by using near sets.
