Imitation Learning in Discounted Linear MDPs without exploration assumptions

Volkan Cevher, Luca Viano, Efstratios Panteleimon Skoulakis

We present a new algorithm for imitation learning in infinite horizon linear MDPs dubbed ILARL which greatly improves the bound on the number of trajectories that the learner needs to sample from the environment. In particular, we re- move exploration assu ...

Investigating prospective memory via eye tracking: No evidence for a monitoring deficit in older adults

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

Prospective memory (PM) refers to remembering to perform intended actions in the future. Older adults in particular have been shown to be negatively affected by PM tasks that require a high amount of attentional resources (i.e., nonfocal tasks). This age-r ...
