Combining Reinforcement Learning with a Local Control Algorithm
We explore combining reinforcement learning with a hand-crafted local controller in a manner suggested by the chaotic control algorithm of Vincent, Schmitt and Vincent (1994). A c...

Eligibility Traces for Off-Policy Policy Evaluation
Eligibility traces have been shown to speed reinforcement learning, to make it more robust to hidden states, and to provide a link between Monte Carlo and temporal-difference meth...

Constructive Feature Learning and the Development of Visual Expertise
We present a framework for learning features for visual discrimination. The learning system is exposed to a sequence of training images. Whenever it fails to recognize a visual co...
