Learning to Fly via Deep Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
Philip Becker-Ehmck, Maximilian Karl, Jan Peters +1
Learning to control robots without requiring engineered models has been a long-term goal, promising diverse and novel applications. Yet, reinforcement learning has only achieved li…
Beta DVBF: Learning State-Space Models for Control from High Dimensional Observations
Neha Das, Maximilian Karl, Philip Becker-Ehmck +1
Learning a model of dynamics from high-dimensional images can be a core ingredient for success in many applications across different domains, especially in sequential decision maki…
Switching Linear Dynamics for Variational Bayes Filtering
Philip Becker-Ehmck, Jan Peters, Patrick van der Smagt
System identification of complex and nonlinear systems is a central problem for model predictive control and model-based reinforcement learning. Despite their complexity, such syst…
Unsupervised Real-Time Control through Variational Empowerment
Maximilian Karl, Maximilian Soelch, Philip Becker-Ehmck +3
We introduce a methodology for efficiently computing a lower bound to empowerment, allowing it to be used as an unsupervised cost function for policy learning in real-time control.…
