A Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for Bayesian policy search

open access: yesSystems Science & Control Engineering, 2018
Policy search algorithms have facilitated application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to dynamic systems, such as control of robots. Many policy search algorithms are based on the policy gradient, and thus may suffer from slow convergence or local optima ...

Search Methods for Policy Decompositions

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
Computing optimal control policies for complex dynamical systems requires approximation methods to remain computationally tractable. Several approximation methods have been developed to tackle this problem. However, these methods do not reason about the suboptimality induced in the resulting control policies due to these approximations.

Exemplar-Based Direct Policy Search with Evolutionary Optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper, an exemplar-based policy optimization framework for direct policy search is presented. In this exemplar-based approach, the policy to be optimized is composed of a set of exemplars and a case-based action selector.

Local Policy Search in a Convex Space and Conservative Policy Iteration as Boosted Policy Search [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Local Policy Search is a popular reinforcement learning approach for handling large state spaces. Formally, it searches locally in a parameterized policy space in order to maximize the associated value function averaged over some pre-defined distribution. The best one can hope in general from such an approach is to get a local optimum of this criterion.

Cities in search of Policy

open access: yesMétropoles, 2013
Studies of urban public policy in Italy heretofore have highlighted the absence of attention to urban questions in the national political agenda until 1990, and afterwards the fragmentation of public initiatives, due to the lack of effective tools for ...

Measuring and Visualizing Research Collaboration and Productivity

open access: yesJournal of Data and Information Science, 2018
This paper presents findings of a quasi-experimental assessment to gauge the research productivity and degree of interdisciplinarity of research center outputs. Of special interest, we share an enriched visualization of research co-authoring patterns.
