Long-Term Exploration in Persistent MDPs

Long-term persistent fetomaternal hemorrhage

It is not clear that how long the affected fetuses can tolerate fetomaternal hemorrhage (FMH). Incidental serial measurements of the fetal peak systolic velocity of the middle cerebral artery and the retrospective analysis of stocked blood available incidentally indicated that our patient had suffered from FMH for at least 2 weeks prior to delivery.

Exploration-Exploitation in MDPs with Options

While a large body of empirical results show that temporally-extended actions and options may significantly affect the learning performance of an agent, the theoretical understanding of how and when options can be beneficial in online reinforcement learning is relatively limited. In this paper, we derive an upper and lower bound on the regret of a variant of UCRL using options. While we first a...

Plants in Long Term Lunar Exploration

IntroductionScience and Exploration Rational: Plant are complex eukaryotic organisms that share fundamental metabolic and genetic processes with humans and all higher organisms, yet their sessile nature requires that plants deal with their environment by adaptation in situ. Thus plants have evolved to deal with environmental change and stress by responding with changes in metabolism in order to...

Autonomous Exploration For Navigating In MDPs

While intrinsically motivated learning agents hold considerable promise to overcome limitations of more supervised learning systems, quantitative evaluation and theoretical analysis of such agents are difficult. We propose to consider a restricted setting for autonomous learning where systematic evaluation of learning performance is possible. In this setting the agent needs to learn to navigate...
