Action Selection for Hammer Shots in Curling: Optimization of Non-convex Continuous Actions With Stochastic Action Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2017
Optimal decision making in the face of uncertainty is an active area of research in artificial intelligence. In this thesis, I present the sport of curling as a novel application domain for research in optimal decision making. I focus on one aspect of the sport, the hammer shot, the last shot...

Q-learning can be difficult to use in continuous action spaces, because a difficult optimization has to be solved to find the maximal action. Some common strategies have been to discretize the action space, solve the maximization with a powerful optimizer at each step, restrict the functional...

Choosing an appropriate action representation is an integral part of solving robotic manipulation problems. Published approaches include latent action models, which train context-conditioned neural networks to map lowdimensional latent actions to high-dimensional actuation commands. Such models...

Learning about many things can provide numerous benefits to a reinforcement learning system. For example, learning many auxiliary value functions, in addition to optimizing the environmental reward, appears to improve both exploration and representation learning. The question we tackle in this...
