Sample Efficient Reinforcement Learning with REINFORCE
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021 Policy gradient methods are among the most effective methods for large-scale reinforcement learning, and their empirical success has prompted several works that develop the foundation of their global convergence theory. However, prior works have either required exact gradients or state-action visitation measure based mini-batch stochastic gradients ...

Impact properties and water uptake behavior of old newspaper recycled fibers-reinforced polypropylene composites [PDF]
, 2020 Natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites can be an alternative to mineral fiber-based composites, especially when economic and environment concerns are included under the material selection criteria. In recent years, the literature has shown how

Effects of Cyclic Freeze–Thaw on the Steel Bar Reinforced New-To-Old Concrete Interface
Molecules, 2020 Frost damage of concrete has significant effects on the safety and durability of concrete structures in cold regions, and the concrete structures after repair and reinforcement are still threatened by cyclic freezing and thawing.

Large deviations in the reinforced random walk model on trees [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, we consider the linearly reinforced and the once-reinforced random walk models in the transient phase on trees. We show the large deviations for the upper tails for both models.

Reinforced silica-carbon nanotube monolithic aerogels synthesised by rapid controlled gelation [PDF]
, 2018 This work introduces a new synthesis procedure for obtaining homogeneous silica hybrid aerogels with carbon nanotube contents up to 2.50 wt.%. The inclusion of nanotubes in the highly porous silica matrix was performed by a two-step sol–gel process ...

Bond–slip Behavior of Fiber-reinforced Polymer/concrete Interface in Single Shear Pull-out and Beam Tests [PDF]
, 2015 It has been assumed that the fiber-reinforced polymer/concrete interface is subjected to in-plane shear condition when intermediate crack debonding failure occurs.

Confining effects of circular concrete tests reinforced PET fiber
Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2019 The aims of this study are, first, to determine the confining effect of concrete specimens reinforced with carbon fiber (CF) or glass fiber (GF), and second, to compare the confining effect of PET fiber-reinforced concrete specimens with the above, CF ...
