Towards Practical Offline Reinforcement Learning: Sample Efficient Policy Selection and Evaluation
DownloadSpring 2024
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) involves learning policies from datasets, rather than online interaction. The dissertation first investigates a critical component in offline RL: offline policy selection (OPS). Given that most offline RL algorithms require careful hyperparameter tuning, we...

Walking adaptation, training and assessment in young children and individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis includes four projects that examine motor learning and assess novel approaches for the training and evaluation of walking. In Project 1 we study motor adaptation in children aged 8-36 months using a split-belt treadmill. Split-belt walking, in which one leg moves faster than the...
