Incremental Natural Actor-Critic Algorithms
We present four new reinforcement learning algorithms based on actor-critic and natural-gradient ideas, and provide their convergence proofs. Actor-critic reinforcement learning m...

Empirical Characterization of Discretization Error in Gradient-Based Algorithms
Many self-organizing and self-adaptive systems use the biologically inspired “gradient” primitive, in which each device in a network estimates its distance to the closest devi...
