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 ...

On a Finite-Size Neuronal Population Equation

Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz

Population equations for infinitely large networks of spiking neurons have a long tradition in theoret-ical neuroscience. In this work, we analyze a recent generalization of these equations to populations of finite size, which takes the form of a nonlinear ...

Model Predictive Control for Multi-Agent Systems under Limited Communication and Time-Varying Network Topology

Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Danilo Saccani

In control system networks, reconfiguration of the controller when agents are leaving or joining the network is still an open challenge, in particular when operation constraints that depend on each agent's behavior must be met. Drawing our motivation from ...

Learning Robustly Safe Output Feedback Controllers from Noisy Data with Performance Guarantees

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Baiwei Guo, Andrea Martin

How can we synthesize a safe and near-optimal control policy for a partially-observed system, if all we are given is one historical input/output trajectory that has been corrupted by noise? To address this challenge, we suggest a novel data-driven controll ...
