A system of LCMs can be used during matching to compute a pre-move evaluation, which acts as a prior optimistic estimate of the value of matching a pair of nodes, and a post-move evaluation which adjusts the prior estimate in the direction of the true value upon completing the move. We present a metaheuristic method that uses reinforcement learning to improve the prior estimates based on the posterior evaluation. The learned values implicitly identify unprofitable regions of the search space. We also present data structures that allow a more compact implementation, limiting the space and time complexity of our algorithm.Keyphrases: local compatibility matrix, metaheuristic, qcn matching, qualitative constraint network, reinforcement learning, sarsa In: Christoph Benzmüller, Geoff Sutcliffe and Raul Rojas (editors).
