  • Learning cost-sensitive diagnostic policies from data

    Creator:
    Zubek, Valentina Bayer
    Abstract:
    In its simplest form, the process of diagnosis is a decision-making process in which the diagnostician performs a sequence of tests culminating in a diagnostic decision. For example, a physician might perform a series of simple measurements (body tem- perature, weight, etc.) and laboratory measurements (white blood count, CT scan,...

  • Model-based approximation methods for reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Wang, Xin
    Abstract:
    The thesis focuses on model-based approximation methods for reinforcement learning with large scale applications such as combinatorial optimization problems. First, the thesis proposes two new model-based methods to stablize the value–function approximation for reinforcement learning. The first one is the BFBP algorithm, a batch-like reinforcement learning process which iterates between...
