Stochastic optimization algorithms typically use learning rate schedules that behave asymptotically as (t) = 0=t. The ensemble dynamics (Leen and Moody, 1993) for such algorithms ...
Learning to act in a multiagent environment is a difficult problem since the normal definition of an optimal policy no longer applies. The optimal policy at any moment depends on ...
We model reinforcement learning as the problem of learning to control a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process ( ¢¡¤£¦¥§ ), and focus on gradient ascent approache...
Directional Newton methods for functions f of n variables are shown to converge, under standard assumptions, to a solution of f(x) = 0. The rate of convergence is quadratic, for ne...
We introduce an algorithm that learns gradients from samples in the supervised learning framework. An error analysis is given for the convergence of the gradient estimated by the ...
