Abstract— One of the major challenges in both action generation for robotics and in the understanding of human motor control is to learn the “building blocks of movement genera...
Generative topographic mapping (GTM) is a statistical model to extract a hidden smooth manifold from data, like the self-organizing map (SOM). Although a deterministic search algo...
Reinforcement learning (RL) was originally proposed as a framework to allow agents to learn in an online fashion as they interact with their environment. Existing RL algorithms co...

A key feature in population based optimization algorithms is the ability to explore a search space and make a decision based on multiple solutions. In this paper, an incremental le...
Hierarchical reinforcement learning is a general framework which attempts to accelerate policy learning in large domains. On the other hand, policy gradient reinforcement learning...
