Reward timing matters in motor learning
iScience, 2022 Summary: Reward timing, that is, the delay after which reward is delivered following an action is known to strongly influence reinforcement learning. Here, we asked if reward timing could also modulate how people learn and consolidate new motor skills ...

CoRR, 2020 We formalize and study ``programming by rewards'' (PBR), a new approach for specifying and synthesizing subroutines for optimizing some quantitative metric such as performance, resource utilization, or correctness over a benchmark. A PBR specification consists of (1) input features $x$, and (2) a reward function $r$, modeled as a black-box component ...

DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING ON RECURSIVE REWARD SYSTEMS [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Statistics, 1976 Dynamic programming (DP) has been introduced by R. Bellman [2] as an important technique to solve non-linear programming problems in which a sequence of decisions has to be chosen in an optimal manner. Bellman, in his book, proposed "Principle of Optimality" to show that th e determination of an optimal policy can be reduced to the solution of an ...

Genetic Programming for Reward Function Search [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development, 2010 Reward functions in reinforcement learning have largely been assumed given as part of the problem being solved by the agent. However, the psychological notion of intrinsic motivation has recently inspired inquiry into whether there exist alternate reward functions that enable an agent to learn a task more easily than the natural task-based reward ...

Association of Marketing Theory and Practice Proceedings, 2019 The concept of a customer loyalty program can be traced back over 300 years when merchants would give customers wooden coins in return for their patronage. Two points are clear: Customer reward loyalty programs are prevalent and costly aspects of most hospitality firms’ marketing strategy.

Note—A Note on Dynamic Programming with Unbounded Rewards [PDF]
Management Science, 1978 In a recent paper, Lippman presents sufficient conditions for Denardo's N-stage contraction in discounted semi-Markov decision processes with unbounded rewards. In this note it is demonstrated that Lippman's conditions may be replaced by weaker conditions which even imply 1-stage contraction. The verification of the conditions of this note is somewhat
