Dual Parallel Policy Iteration With Coupled Policy Improvement
IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning SystemsIn this article, a novel coupled policy improvement mechanism is developed for improving policy iteration (PI) algorithms. In contrast to the common PI, the developed dual parallel policy iteration (DPPI) with coupled policy improvement mechanism consists of two parallel PIs.

Social Work in Public Health, 2015
A discussion of health equity should be intricately examined in policy and practice discourse about the healthcare industry. This article addresses health equity with strategies to institutionalize it through policy implementation. This discourse is relevant to social work because social workers are charged with elucidating conditions that are maniacal

Improving societies' harassment policies
Science, 2018As Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) professors, teachers, and mentors, we are acutely aware of the harm that can be done by sexual harassment and other discriminatory behaviors, which negatively affect the careers of young scientists and hamper our efforts to diversify the scientific workforce and professoriate.

Analysis and improvement of policy gradient estimation
Neural Networks, 2012Policy gradient is a useful model-free reinforcement learning approach, but it tends to suffer from instability of gradient estimates. In this paper, we analyze and improve the stability of policy gradient methods. We first prove that the variance of gradient estimates in the PGPE (policy gradients with parameter-based exploration) method is smaller ...

On Howard’s Policy Improvement Method
Mathematische Operationsforschung und Statistik. Series Optimization, 1977We consider a stationary dynamic program with general state and action spaces and with an unbounded reward function. Taking a martingale approach to the optimization problem we derive several necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of Howard's policy improvement method. The conditions hold both in the positive and negative ease.

Improving Health Care Policy Research
Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law, 1982Interest in health care policy research has grown significantly over the past decade. This paper makes a number of suggestions for improving the quality of health care policy research and its influence on policymaking. These include suggestions for: 1) improving the way in which problems are identified and defined; 2) merging qualitative and ...
