Policy diffusion and policy transfer

open access: yesPolicy Studies, 2009
This article argues that the literatures on policy transfer and policy diffusion are complimentary, but need to focus more clearly on five key issues drawing insights from both literatures. First, work in each area can benefit from a greater focus on the changing interactions between the various mechanisms involved in diffusion/transfer.

Probabilistically safe policy transfer [PDF]

open access: yes2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2017
Although learning-based methods have great potential for robotics, one concern is that a robot that updates its parameters might cause large amounts of damage before it learns the optimal policy. We formalize the idea of safe learning in a probabilistic sense by defining an optimization problem: we desire to maximize the expected return while keeping ...
