Covariant Policy Search
We investigate the problem of non-covariant behavior of policy gradient reinforcement learning algorithms. The policy gradient approach is amenable to analysis by information geom...

Relative Entropy Policy Search
Policy search is a successful approach to reinforcement learning. However, policy improvements often result in the loss of information. Hence, it has been marred by premature conv...

Uncertainty handling CMA-ES for reinforcement learning
The covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMAES) has proven to be a powerful method for reinforcement learning (RL). Recently, the CMA-ES has been augmented with an ada...

Similarities and differences between policy gradient methods and evolution strategies
Natural policy gradient methods and the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy, two variable metric methods proposed for solving reinforcement learning tasks, are contrast...

Acceleration of Covariance Models for Non-coding RNA Search
Stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG) based models for non-coding RNA (ncRNA) gene searches are much more powerful than regular grammar based models due to the ability to model in...
