Wasserstein Barycenter Soft Actor-Critic

Zahra Shahrooei, Ali Baheri

Deep off-policy actor-critic algorithms have emerged as the leading framework for reinforcement learning in continuous control domains. However, most of these algorithms suffer fro…

Optimal Transport-Guided Safety in Temporal Difference Reinforcement Learning

Zahra Shahrooei, Ali Baheri

The primary goal of reinforcement learning is to develop decision-making policies that prioritize optimal performance, frequently without considering safety. In contrast, safe rein…

Optimizing Falsification for Learning-Based Control Systems: A Multi-Fidelity Bayesian Approach

Zahra Shahrooei, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, Ali Baheri

Testing controllers in safety-critical systems is vital for ensuring their safety and preventing failures. In this paper, we address the falsification problem within learning-based…

Falsification of Learning-Based Controllers through Multi-Fidelity Bayesian Optimization

Zahra Shahrooei, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, Ali Baheri

Simulation-based falsification is a practical testing method to increase confidence that the system will meet safety requirements. Because full-fidelity simulations can be computat…
