Generalized Random Direction Newton Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization
Soumen Pachal, Prashanth L. A., Shalabh Bhatnagar +1
We present a family of generalized Hessian estimators of the objective using random direction stochastic approximation (RDSA) by utilizing only noisy function measurements. The for…

Reinforcement learning with an expectile-based objective
Sumedh Gupte, Shrey Rakeshkumar Patel, Soumen Pachal +2
We consider the policy evaluation and control in a finite horizon reinforcement learning (RL) setting under an expectile-based objective. First, we derive the mean-squared error (M…
