Constrained, Global Optimization of Functions with Lipschitz Continuous Gradients
Abraham P. Vinod, Arie Israel, Ufuk Topcu
We present two first-order, sequential optimization algorithms to solve constrained optimization problems. We consider a black-box setting with a priori unknown, non-convex objecti…
On-The-Fly Control of Unknown Systems: From Side Information to Performance Guarantees through Reachability
Franck Djeumou, Abraham P. Vinod, Eric Goubault +2
We develop data-driven algorithms for reachability analysis and control of systems with a priori unknown nonlinear dynamics. The resulting algorithms not only are suitable for sett…
Convexified Open-Loop Stochastic Optimal Control for Linear Non-Gaussian Systems
Vignesh Sivaramakrishnan, Abraham P. Vinod, Meeko M. K. Oishi
We consider stochastic optimal control of linear dynamical systems with additive non-Gaussian disturbance. We propose a novel, sampling-free approach, based on Fourier transformati…
On-The-Fly Control of Unknown Smooth Systems from Limited Data
Franck Djeumou, Abraham P. Vinod, Eric Goubault +2
We investigate the problem of data-driven, on-the-fly control of systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics where data from only a single finite-horizon trajectory and possibly side i…
Near-Optimal Reactive Synthesis Incorporating Runtime Information
Suda Bharadwaj, Abraham P. Vinod, Rayna Dimitrova +1
We consider the problem of optimal reactive synthesis - compute a strategy that satisfies a mission specification in a dynamic environment, and optimizes a performance metric. We i…
Blending Controllers via Multi-Objective Bandits
Parham Gohari, Franck Djeumou, Abraham P. Vinod +1
Safety and performance are often two competing objectives in sequential decision-making problems. Existing performant controllers, such as controllers derived from reinforcement le…
Trust-based user-interface design for human-automation systems
Abraham P. Vinod, Adam J. Thorpe, Philip A. Olaniyi +2
We present a method for dynamics-driven, user-interface design for a human-automation system via sensor selection. We define the user-interface to be the output of a MIMO LTI syste…
