Learning by Doing: Controlling a Dynamical System using Causality, Control, and Reinforcement Learning
干中学:结合因果、控制与强化学习操控动态系统
Questions in causality, control, and reinforcement learning go beyond the classical machine learning task of prediction under i.i.d. observations. Instead, these fields consider the problem of learning how to actively perturb a system to achieve a certain effect on a response variable. Arguably, they have complementary views on the problem: In control, one usually aims to first identify the system by excitation strategies to then apply model-based design techniques to…
