Regret Bounds for Robust Adaptive Control of the Linear Quadratic Regulator
Sarah Dean, Horia Mania, Nikolai Matni +2
We consider adaptive control of the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), where an unknown linear system is controlled subject to quadratic costs. Leveraging recent developments in the…
Simple random search provides a competitive approach to reinforcement learning
Horia Mania, Aurelia Guy, Benjamin Recht
A common belief in model-free reinforcement learning is that methods based on random search in the parameter space of policies exhibit significantly worse sample complexity than th…
Learning Without Mixing: Towards A Sharp Analysis of Linear System Identification
Max Simchowitz, Horia Mania, Stephen Tu +2
We prove that the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimator attains nearly minimax optimal performance for the identification of linear dynamical systems from a single observed trajec…
