Spring 2011
Off-policy reinforcement learning is useful in many contexts. Maei, Sutton, Szepesvari, and others, have recently introduced a new class of algorithms, the most advanced of which is GQ(lambda), for off-policy reinforcement learning. These algorithms are the first stable methods for general...

Fall 2023
Of all the capabilities of natural intelligence, one of the most exceptional is the ability to expand upon and refine knowledge of the world through subjective experience. Therefore, a longstanding goal of Artificial Intelligence has been to replicate this success: to enable artificial agents to...

Spring 2015
This thesis consists of two independent projects, each contributing to a central goal of artificial intelligence research: to build computer systems that are capable of performing tasks and solving problems without problem-specific direction from us, their designers. I focus on two formal...

Strengths, Weaknesses, and Combinations of Model-based and Model-free Reinforcement Learning
DownloadSpring 2016
Reinforcement learning algorithms are conventionally divided into two approaches: a model-based approach that builds a model of the environment and then computes a value function from the model, and a model-free approach that directly estimates the value function. The first contribution of this...
