Trajectory-Based Off-Policy Deep Reinforcement Learning
Andreas Doerr, Michael Volpp, Marc Toussaint +2
Policy gradient methods are powerful reinforcement learning algorithms and have been demonstrated to solve many complex tasks. However, these methods are also data-inefficient, aff…
Context-aware Learned Mesh-based Simulation via Trajectory-Level Meta-Learning
Philipp Dahlinger, Niklas Freymuth, Tai Hoang +4
Simulating object deformations is a critical challenge across many scientific domains, including robotics, manufacturing, and structural mechanics. Learned Graph Network Simulators…
What Matters For Meta-Learning Vision Regression Tasks?
Ning Gao, Hanna Ziesche, Ngo Anh Vien +2
Meta-learning is widely used in few-shot classification and function regression due to its ability to quickly adapt to unseen tasks. However, it has not yet been well explored on r…
Latent Task-Specific Graph Network Simulators
Philipp Dahlinger, Niklas Freymuth, Michael Volpp +2
Simulating dynamic physical interactions is a critical challenge across multiple scientific domains, with applications ranging from robotics to material science. For mesh-based sim…
ProDMPs: A Unified Perspective on Dynamic and Probabilistic Movement Primitives
Ge Li, Zeqi Jin, Michael Volpp +3
Movement Primitives (MPs) are a well-known concept to represent and generate modular trajectories. MPs can be broadly categorized into two types: (a) dynamics-based approaches that…
Meta-Learning Acquisition Functions for Transfer Learning in Bayesian Optimization
Michael Volpp, Lukas P. Fröhlich, Kirsten Fischer +4
Transferring knowledge across tasks to improve data-efficiency is one of the open key challenges in the field of global black-box optimization. Readily available algorithms are typ…
