Adaptation to Dynamic Resource Availability in Ad Hoc Grids through a Learning Mechanism
Ad-hoc Grids are highly heterogeneous and dynamic networks, one of the main challenges of resource allocation in such environments is to find mechanisms which do not rely on the ...

Multimodal Parameter-exploring Policy Gradients
Abstract-- Policy Gradients with Parameter-based Exploration (PGPE) is a novel model-free reinforcement learning method that alleviates the problem of high-variance gradient estima...

A Spectral Approach to Learning Structural Variations in Graphs
This paper shows how to construct a linear deformable model for graph structure by performing principal components analysis (PCA) on the vectorised adjacency matrix. We commence b...

Building Blocks for Variational Bayesian Learning of Latent Variable Models
We introduce standardised building blocks designed to be used with variational Bayesian learning. The blocks include Gaussian variables, summation, multiplication, nonlinearity, a...

Multi-task evolutionary shaping without pre-specified representations
Shaping functions can be used in multi-task reinforcement learning (RL) to incorporate knowledge from previously experienced tasks to speed up learning on a new task. So far, rese...
