Transfer via inter-task mappings in policy search reinforcement learning
The ambitious goal of transfer learning is to accelerate learning on a target task after training on a different, but related, source task. While many past transfer methods have f...

Using Homomorphisms to Transfer Options across Continuous Reinforcement Learning Domains
We examine the problem of Transfer in Reinforcement Learning and present a method to utilize knowledge acquired in one Markov Decision Process (MDP) to bootstrap learning in a mor...

Variational Learning of Clusters of Undercomplete Nonsymmetric Independent Components
We apply a variational method to automatically determine the number of mixtures of independent components in high-dimensional datasets, in which the sources may be nonsymmetricall...
