Bayesian Policy Search for Multi-Agent Role Discovery
Bayesian inference is an appealing approach for leveraging prior knowledge in reinforcement learning (RL). In this paper we describe an algorithm for discovering different classes...

Automatic Programming of Robots Using Genetic Programming
The goal in automatic programming is to get a computer to perform a task by telling it what needs to be done, rather than by explicitly programming it. This paper considers the ta...

Reinforcement Learning for Mixed Open-loop and Closed-loop Control
Closed-loop control relies on sensory feedback that is usually assumed to be free. But if sensing incurs a cost, it may be coste ective to take sequences of actions in open-loop m...

Reinforcement Learning with Hierarchies of Machines
We present a new approach to reinforcement learning in which the policies considered by the learning process are constrained by hierarchies of partially specified machines. This ...

Balancing Multiple Sources of Reward in Reinforcement Learning
For many problems which would be natural for reinforcement learning, the reward signal is not a single scalar value but has multiple scalar components. Examples of such problems i...
