Rates of Convergence of Performance Gradient Estimates Using Function Approximation and Bias in Reinforcement Learning
We address two open theoretical questions in Policy Gradient Reinforcement Learning. The first concerns the efficacy of using function approximation to represent the state action ...

Automatic basis function construction for approximate dynamic programming and reinforcement learning
We address the problem of automatically constructing basis functions for linear approximation of the value function of a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Our work builds on results ...

On a theory of learning with similarity functions
Kernel functions have become an extremely popular tool in machine learning, with an attractive theory as well. This theory views a kernel as implicitly mapping data points into a ...

Learning state-action basis functions for hierarchical MDPs
This paper introduces a new approach to actionvalue function approximation by learning basis functions from a spectral decomposition of the state-action manifold. This paper exten...
