Comparing distributions and shapes using the kernel distance
Starting with a similarity function between objects, it is possible to define a distance metric (the kernel distance) on pairs of objects, and more generally on probability distr...

Real-coded crossover as a role of kernel density estimation
This paper presents a kernel density estimation method by means of real-coded crossovers. Estimation of density algorithms (EDAs) are evolutionary optimization techniques, which d...

Open Loop Optimistic Planning
We consider the problem of planning in a stochastic and discounted environment with a limited numerical budget. More precisely, we investigate strategies exploring the set of poss...

The Laplacian PDF Distance: A Cost Function for Clustering in a Kernel Feature Space
A new distance measure between probability density functions (pdfs) is introduced, which we refer to as the Laplacian pdf distance. The Laplacian pdf distance exhibits a remarkabl...

Reinforcement learning of motor skills in high dimensions: A path integral approach
— Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the most general approaches to learning control. Its applicability to complex motor systems, however, has been largely impossible so far d...
