Globally Convergent Policy Search over Dynamic Filters for Output Estimation
Jack Umenberger, Max Simchowitz, Juan C. Perdomo +2
We introduce the first direct policy search algorithm which provably converges to the globally optimal filter for the classical problem of predicting the outputs…
Stabilizing Dynamical Systems via Policy Gradient Methods
Juan C. Perdomo, Jack Umenberger, Max Simchowitz
Stabilizing an unknown control system is one of the most fundamental problems in control systems engineering. In this paper, we provide a simple, model-free algorithm for stabilizi…
Distributed Identification of Contracting and/or Monotone Network Dynamics
Max Revay, Jack Umenberger, Ian R. Manchester
This paper proposes methods for identification of large-scale networked systems with guarantees that the resulting model will be contracting -- a strong form of nonlinear stability…
Optimistic robust linear quadratic dual control
Jack Umenberger, Thomas B. Schon
Recent work by Mania et al. has proved that certainty equivalent control achieves nearly optimal regret for linear systems with quadratic costs. However, when parameter uncertainty…
Robust exploration in linear quadratic reinforcement learning
Jack Umenberger, Mina Ferizbegovic, Thomas B. Schön +1
This paper concerns the problem of learning control policies for an unknown linear dynamical system to minimize a quadratic cost function. We present a method, based on convex opti…
Inverse Quadratic Optimal Control for Discrete-Time Linear Systems
Han Zhang, Jack Umenberger, Xiaoming Hu
In this paper, we consider the inverse optimal control problem for the discrete-time linear quadratic regulator, over finite-time horizons. Given observations of the optimal trajec…
