The Cross Entropy Method for Fast Policy Search
We present a learning framework for Markovian decision processes that is based on optimization in the policy space. Instead of using relatively slow gradient-based optimization al...

Cross-Entropy Optimization of Control Policies With Adaptive Basis Functions
—This paper introduces an algorithm for direct search of control policies in continuous-state discrete-action Markov decision processes. The algorithm looks for the best closed-l...

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...

Global Likelihood Optimization Via the Cross-Entropy Method, with an Application to Mixture Models
Global likelihood maximization is an important aspect of many statistical analyses. Often the likelihood function is highly multi-extremal. This presents a significant challenge t...
