TLDR
In this article, a system consisting of two neuron-like adaptive elements can solve a difficult learning control problem, where the task is to balance a pole that is hinged to a movable cart by applying forces to the cart base.Abstract:
It is shown how a system consisting of two neuronlike adaptive elements can solve a difficult learning control problem. The task is to balance a pole that is hinged to a movable cart by applying forces to the cart's base. It is argued that the learning problems faced by adaptive elements that are components of adaptive networks are at least as difficult as this version of the pole-balancing problem. The learning system consists of a single associative search element (ASE) and a single adaptive critic element (ACE). In the course of learning to balance the pole, the ASE constructs associations between input and output by searching under the influence of reinforcement feedback, and the ACE constructs a more informative evaluation function than reinforcement feedback alone can provide. The differences between this approach and other attempts to solve problems using neurolike elements are discussed, as is the relation of this work to classical and instrumental conditioning in animal learning studies and its possible implications for research in the neurosciences.read more

Learning Deep Features in Instrumental Variable Regression
TL;DR: Deep feature instrumental variable regression (DFIV) is proposed, to address the case where relations between instruments, treatments, and outcomes may be nonlinear, and outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods on challenging IV benchmarks, including settings involving high dimensional image data.

TL;DR: An extension of TAMER to allow both continuous states and actions, called ACTAMER, is proposed, which utilizes any general function approximation of a human trainer’s feedback signal.

Reinforcement Learning of POMDPs using Spectral Methods
TL;DR: In this article, a reinforcement learning algorithm for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) based on spectral decomposition methods is proposed, in which a learning algorithm running through episodes is devised to learn the POMDP parameters from a trajectory generated by a fixed policy at the end of the episode, an optimization oracle returns the optimal memoryless planning policy which maximizes the expected reward based on the estimated Markov model.

TL;DR: The product of experts model is found to perform comparably to table-based Q-learning for small instances of the task, and continues to perform well when the problem becomes too large for a table- based representation.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: This method is used to examine receptive fields of a more complex type and to make additional observations on binocular interaction and this approach is necessary in order to understand the behaviour of individual cells, but it fails to deal with the problem of the relationship of one cell to its neighbours.

A Theory of Cerebellar Cortex
TL;DR: A detailed theory of cerebellar cortex is proposed whose consequence is that the cerebellum learns to perform motor skills and two forms of input—output relation are described, both consistent with the cortical theory.

TL;DR: To UNDERSTAND VISION in physiological terms represents a formidable problem for the biologist, and one approach is to stimulate the retina with patterns of light while recording from single cells or fibers at various points along the visual pathway.

Toward a modern theory of adaptive networks: Expectation and prediction.
TL;DR: The adaptive element presented learns to increase its response rate in anticipation of increased stimulation, producing a conditioned response before the occurrence of the unconditioned stimulus, and is in strong agreement with the behavioral data regarding the effects of stimulus context.

Steps toward Artificial Intelligence
TL;DR: The problems of heuristic programming can be divided into five main areas: Search, Pattern-Recognition, Learning, Planning, and Induction as discussed by the authors, and the most successful heuristic (problem-solving) programs constructed to date.
