This paper discusses theoretical and experimental aspects of gradient-based approaches to the direct optimization of policy performance in controlled ??? ?s. We introduce ??? ?, a...
We introduce an algorithm for learning a local metric to a continuous input space that measures distances in terms of relevance to the processing task. The relevance is defined a...
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a simulation-based technique useful in solving Markov decision processes if their transition probabilities are not easily obtainable or if the probl...
For many types of machine learning algorithms, one can compute the statistically optimal" way to select training data. In this paper, we review how optimal data selection tec...
