In reinforcement learning, agents learn by performing actions and observing their outcomes. Sometimes, it is desirable for a human operator to \textit{interrupt} an agent in order to prevent dangerous situations from happening. Yet, as part of their learni ...
We revisit a recently developed iterative learning algorithm that enables systems to learn from a repeated operation with the goal of achieving high tracking performance of a given trajectory. The learning scheme is based on a coarse dynamics model of the ...
When making a choice with limited information, we explore new features through trial-and-error to learn how they are related. However, few studies have investigated exploratory behaviour when information is limited. In this study, we address, at both the b ...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the distinction between smart specialisation and smart specialisation policy and it studies under what conditions a smart specialisation policy is necessary. Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual fram ...
This paper considers the issues of efficiency and autonomy that are required to make reinforcement learning suitable for real-life control tasks. A real-time reinforcement learning algorithm is presented that repeatedly adjusts the control policy with the ...
Reinforcement learning is a type of supervised learning, where reward is sparse and delayed. For example in chess, a series of moves is made until a sparse reward (win, loss) is issued, which makes it impossible to evaluate the value of a single move. Stil ...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are powerful tools for decision making in uncertain dynamic environments. However, the solutions of MDPs are of limited practical use because of their sensitivity to distributional model parameters, which are typically unkn ...
This paper is about smart specialization strategies' as an innovation (or industrial) policy approach. Being a sector non-neutral policy, while promoting a bottom-up principle of entrepreneurial initiative and dynamics, smart specialization strategies' occ ...
Integrated transport and land use models are an increasingly used tool for evaluation of urban policy and large scale projects. Although there is a well-built theoretical background supporting the existing models, there are few exhaustive descriptions of t ...
We consider the problem of learning multi-ridge functions of the form f (x) = g(Ax) from point evaluations of f. We assume that the function f is defined on an l(2)-ball in R-d, g is twice continuously differentiable almost everywhere, and A is an element ...
