Adaptive Step-size Policy Gradients with Average Reward Metric
In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive step-size approach for policy gradient reinforcement learning. A new metric is defined for policy gradients that measures the effect of ...

Stochastic Gradient Descent Training for L1-regularized Log-linear Models with Cumulative Penalty
Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) uses approximate gradients estimated from subsets of the training data and updates the parameters in an online fashion. This learning framework i...
