Learning-based Robust Motion Planning with Guaranteed Stability: A Contraction Theory Approach [PDF]
This paper presents Learning-based Autonomous Guidance with RObustness and Stability guarantees (LAG-ROS), which provides machine learning-based nonlinear motion planners with formal robustness and stability guarantees, by designing a differential Lyapunov function using contraction theory.

Contraction Theory for Nonlinear Stability Analysis and Learning-based Control: A Tutorial Overview [PDF]
Contraction theory is an analytical tool to study differential dynamics of a non-autonomous (i.e., time-varying) nonlinear system under a contraction metric defined with a uniformly positive definite matrix, the existence of which results in a necessary and sufficient characterization of incremental exponential stability of multiple solution ...

Evaluation of Goaf Stability Based on Transfer Learning Theory of Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
Current artificial intelligence models for evaluating goaf stability in underground metal mines need a large amount of sample data for training, and their accuracy declines with small sample size. With the aim of solving this problem, this paper proposes

On Solutions and Stability of Stochastic Functional Equations Emerging in Psychological Theory of Learning [PDF]
We show how to apply the well-known fixed-point approach in the study of the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions to some particular types of functional equations. Moreover, we also obtain the Ulam stability result for them.

Stability-Guaranteed Reinforcement Learning for Contact-rich Manipulation [PDF]
Reinforcement learning (RL) has had its fair share of success in contact-rich manipulation tasks but it still lags behind in benefiting from advances in robot control theory such as impedance control and stability guarantees. Recently, the concept of variable impedance control (VIC) was adopted into RL with encouraging results.

Learning Deep Energy Shaping Policies for Stability-Guaranteed Manipulation [PDF]
Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has been successfully used to solve various robotic manipulation tasks. However, most of the existing works do not address the issue of control stability. This is in sharp contrast to the control theory community where the well-established norm is to prove stability whenever a control law is synthesized.

The Bayesian Stability Zoo [PDF]
We show that many definitions of stability found in the learning theory literature are equivalent to one another. We distinguish between two families of definitions of stability: distribution-dependent and distribution-independent Bayesian stability.

Stability and Generalization of Stochastic Compositional Gradient Descent Algorithms [PDF]
Many machine learning tasks can be formulated as a stochastic compositional optimization (SCO) problem such as reinforcement learning, AUC maximization, and meta-learning, where the objective function involves a nested composition associated with an expectation. While a significant amount of studies has been devoted to studying the convergence behavior
