Inverse Optimal Control with Linearly-Solvable MDPs
We present new algorithms for inverse optimal control (or inverse reinforcement learning, IRL) within the framework of linearlysolvable MDPs (LMDPs). Unlike most prior IRL algorit...

Logarithmic Regret Algorithms for Online Convex Optimization
In an online convex optimization problem a decision-maker makes a sequence of decisions, i.e., chooses a sequence of points in Euclidean space, from a fixed feasible set. After ea...
