Direct policy search is a practical way to solve reinforcement learning problems involving continuous state and action spaces. The goal becomes finding policy parameters that maxi...
Abstract. We propose a convex optimization approach to solving the nonparametric regression estimation problem when the underlying regression function is Lipschitz continuous. This...
