In the model-based policy search approach to reinforcement learning (RL), policies are found using a model (or "simulator") of the Markov decision process. However, for ...
Abstract— Tying suture knots is a time-consuming task performed frequently during Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Automating this task could greatly reduce total surgery time f...

We introduce a general-purpose learning machine that we call the Guaranteed Error Machine, or GEM, and two learning algorithms, a real GEM algorithm and an ideal GEM algorithm. Th...
Abstract. A conceptual framework, whose goal is the improvement of efficiency of machine learning, is presented. The framework is designed in a broader context of problem solver (P...
Many learning algorithms rely on the curvature (in particular, strong convexity) of regularized objective functions to provide good theoretical performance guarantees. In practice...
