This document discusses reinforcement learning techniques for partially observable environments. It introduces the TD(λ) algorithm, which blends temporal difference estimates from multiple time steps to potentially converge faster than Q-learning. The document also discusses challenges with modeling partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) where the environment is not fully observable. It presents several approaches to dealing with non-observability, including using observation histories, information states that represent belief distributions, predictive states, and experience states.
This document provides an outline and information for the CS451/CS551/EE565 Artificial Intelligence course on learning and connectionism taught by Prof. Janice T. Searleman. It includes topics on learning agents, neural networks, reading assignments from relevant AI textbooks, details on the final exam and homework assignment. Concepts covered include different types of learning such as rote learning, reinforcement learning, supervised and unsupervised induction. Neural networks and connectionism are also discussed.
This lecture covers machine learning concepts including definitions, applications, learning agents, different types of learning (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement), terms like training set and test set, decision tree learning using information gain to select attributes, and Bayesian learning including Bayes' theorem and naive Bayesian classification of documents. Key applications discussed include spam filtering, autonomous driving, and medical data mining.

Robot Motor Skill Coordination with EM-based Reinforcement LearningPetar Kormushev
A Barrett WAM robot learns to flip pancakes by reinforcement learning.
The motion is encoded in a mixture of basis force fields through an extension of Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP) that represents the synergies across the different variables through stiffness matrices. An Inverse Dynamics controller with variable stiffness is used for reproduction.
The skill is first demonstrated via kinesthetic teaching, and then refined by Policy learning by Weighting Exploration with the Returns (PoWER) algorithm. After 50 trials, the robot learns that the first part of the task requires a stiff behavior to throw the pancake in the air, while the second part requires the hand to be compliant in order to catch the pancake without having it bounced off the pan.
This document provides administrative information for a machine learning course. It outlines the course details such as location, instructor contact information, textbook, grading breakdown, project requirements, and expectations. The course aims to provide a fundamental understanding of machine learning concepts and algorithms so students can read current ML research after completing it. Machine learning is considered important as its algorithms are at the heart of many modern applications and artificial intelligence.
Machine Learning: Decision Trees Chapter 18.1-18.3butest
The document discusses machine learning and decision trees. It provides an overview of different machine learning paradigms like rote learning, induction, clustering, analogy, discovery, and reinforcement learning. It then focuses on decision trees, describing them as trees that classify examples by splitting them along attribute values at each node. The goal of learning decision trees is to build a tree that can accurately classify new examples. It describes the ID3 algorithm for constructing decision trees in a greedy top-down manner by choosing the attribute that best splits the training examples at each node.

Lecture 18: Gaussian Mixture Models and Expectation Maximizationbutest
This document discusses Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) and the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. GMMs model data as coming from a mixture of Gaussian distributions, with each data point assigned soft responsibilities to the different components. EM is used to estimate the parameters of GMMs and other latent variable models. It iterates between an E-step, where responsibilities are computed based on current parameters, and an M-step, where new parameters are estimated to maximize the expected complete-data log-likelihood given the responsibilities. EM converges to a local optimum for fitting GMMs to data.
Clustering:k-means, expect-maximization and gaussian mixture modeljins0618
This document discusses K-means clustering, Expectation Maximization (EM), and Gaussian mixture models (GMM). It begins with an overview of unsupervised learning and introduces K-means as a simple clustering algorithm. It then describes EM as a general algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation that can be applied to problems like GMM. GMM is presented as a density estimation technique that models data using a weighted sum of Gaussian distributions. EM is described as a method for estimating the parameters of a GMM from data.
Rocks can be divided into three main groups: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Sedimentary rocks form from the deposition of minerals and organic materials. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma. Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth's crust and are classified by their texture and mineral composition. Common rocks include marble, granite, quartz, and limestone.

Helicopters generate lift through rapidly spinning rotor blades. As the blades spin, they push air downwards, creating higher pressure below the blades and lower pressure above. This pressure difference results in an upward force called lift. Pilots control a helicopter's movement through control devices like the collective, cyclic, and anti-torque pedals, which alter the rotor blade angles and direction of thrust. Helicopters can hover, fly in any direction, and carry heavy loads, but are more complex than airplanes due to the need to counteract torque from the main rotor.

Learning Coordination strategies using
reinforcement learning
The goal of this thesis is not to learn to play the game of Go as a tournament class program but to learn from go how to approach the coordination strategy problem.
The evaluation of the board is done using chinese rule which allow a player to fill its territory without penalty and a program to play without recognizing life or death patterns.
using chinese rule
Convey the spatial connectivity
move policy towards greedy policy(i.e. ε-soft)
Converges to best ε-soft policy
Monte carlo的部份: 能夠在全新的環境中學習,並利用先前的經驗來解決問題。
DP的部份:其當前的評估值是前先前學習過的評估值為基礎。
如果我們算不出他有多好,因此我們從這一點多下幾次,因此統計看贏的機率有多高,如果很高的話那麼這麼棋型就還不錯。
Monte Carlo:observe reward for all steps in an episode
Policy用來選擇action稱作action-selection policy(or behavior policy),用來選擇要用哪個new action來做評估的的policy,稱作estimation policy(or target policy)。
On-policy learning在做new action選擇時會遵從某些policy,之後根據執行的結果,其value function會被更新。這些policy不會一直選擇利益最高的,通常會存在著一些機制做exploration的動作。有三個很常見的policy:ε-soft, ε-greedy and softmax。
Off-policy method可以因為不同的行為及評估方式來學習不同的policies,其用來決定action 的behavior policy通常會留有一些空間去做exploration,例如使用ε-greedy policy,而estimation policy則是完全的greedy,只選擇擁有最大reward的來更新。這樣做的好處是可以將exploration的控制與learning的程序分開。 =>value評估不是立即的

A normalization factor of ensures that the weights sum to 1.
There are two ways to view eligibility traces.
1.they are a bridge from TD to Monte Carlo methods.
2. more mechanistic
Higher settings lead to longer lasting traces; that is, a larger proportion of credit from a reward can be given to more distal states and actions when λ is higher, with λ = 1 producing parallel learning to Monte Carlo RL algorithms.
TD-Lambda is a learning algorithm invented by Richard S. Sutton based on earlier work on temporal difference learning by Arthur Samuel.[1]
This algorithm was famously applied by Gerald Tesauro to create TD-Gammon, a program that can learn to play the game of backgammon better than expert human players.

Eligibility Traces 存在意義有二個觀點:
1.作為TD跟Monte carlo方法的橋梁
2.讓TD方法擁有更多的機制,例如解決temporal-credit assignment 問題。=>對於一個沒有立即影響的action,我們如何去做punish or reward。(觀察未來reward的權重)
現在遊戲真正的時間點在哪,S就是該時間點的狀態。
現在遊戲真正的時間點在哪,S就是該時間點的狀態。
我們是一步一步的用TD error往回更新,現在的TD error會給上一個狀態
The backward view of TD() is oriented toward looking backward in time. At each moment we look at the current TD error and assign it backward to each prior state according to the state's eligibility trace at that time. We might imagine ourselves riding along the stream of states, computing TD errors, and shouting them back to the previously visited states, as suggested by Figure 7.8. Where the TD error and traces come together we get the update given by (7.7).
To better understand the backward view, consider what happens at various values of . If , then by (7.5) all traces are zero at t except for the trace corresponding to . Thus the TD() update (7.7) reduces to the simple TD rule (6 .2 ), which we henceforth call TD(0). In terms of Figure 7.8, TD(0) is the case in which only the one state preceding the current one is changed by the TD error. For larger values of , but still , more of the preceding states are changed, but each more temporally distant state is changed less because its eligibility trace is smaller, as suggested in the figure. We say that the earlier states are given less credit for the TD error.
Forward View = Backward View 可證明,見Eligibility Traces, http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~sutton/book/7/node1.html
the sum of all the updates is the same for the two algorithms:
For each episode=>所有的training
For each step =>一場training
可以offline training
也可以online training
競爭式學習只有唯一優勝的神經元進行權重調整,其餘神經元則不調整
LVQ 的方法和 VQ 很接近,但不同的是:
VQ 是用在資料的壓縮與取編碼向量,適用於無類別資訊的資料。
LVQ 的目標再找出同一個類別資料的代表點,再以代表點來進行分類,因此適用於分類問題。
在vector quantization,我們假設已經存在用M個prototype vectors所定義好的code book。這裡的M是使用者定義的、prototype vector是亂數選擇的。每個input屬於距離最近的cluster。
LVQ is a supervised version of VQ that can be used when we have labeled input data
Prototype越多,收斂速度越慢
There is a trade-off between the number of codebook vectors m and the learning speed.more codebook vectors, the internal representation of the task is more detailed=>但要更多時間去學他們相對之間的關係。
