Attention Actor-Critic algorithm for Multi-Agent Constrained Co-operative Reinforcement Learning
P. Parnika, Raghuram Bharadwaj Diddigi, Sai Koti Reddy Danda +1
In this work, we consider the problem of computing optimal actions for Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents in a co-operative setting, where the objective is to optimize a common goa…
A Cross Entropy based Optimization Algorithm with Global Convergence Guarantees
Ajin George Joseph, Shalabh Bhatnagar
The cross entropy (CE) method is a model based search method to solve optimization problems where the objective function has minimal structure. The Monte-Carlo version of the CE me…
An Incremental Off-policy Search in a Model-free Markov Decision Process Using a Single Sample Path
Ajin George Joseph, Shalabh Bhatnagar
In this paper, we consider a modified version of the control problem in a model free Markov decision process (MDP) setting with large state and action spaces. The control problem m…
Novel Sensor Scheduling Scheme for Intruder Tracking in Energy Efficient Sensor Networks
Raghuram Bharadwaj Diddigi, Prabuchandran K. J., Shalabh Bhatnagar
We consider the problem of tracking an intruder using a network of wireless sensors. For tracking the intruder at each instant, the optimal number and the right configuration of se…
Shaping Proto-Value Functions via Rewards
Chandrashekar Lakshmi Narayanan, Raj Kumar Maity, Shalabh Bhatnagar
In this paper, we combine task-dependent reward shaping and task-independent proto-value functions to obtain reward dependent proto-value functions (RPVFs). In constructing the RPV…
Cauchy Annealing Schedule: An Annealing Schedule for Boltzmann Selection Scheme in Evolutionary Algorithms
Ambedkar Dukkipati, M. Narasimha Murty, Shalabh Bhatnagar
Boltzmann selection is an important selection mechanism in evolutionary algorithms as it has theoretical properties which help in theoretical analysis. However, Boltzmann selection…
