Cornelissen, Arjan (author)In 2005, Jordan showed how to estimate the gradient of a real-valued function with a high-dimensional domain on a quantum computer. Subsequently, in 2017, it was shown by Gilyén et al. how to do this with a different input model. They also proved optimality of their algorithm for \ell^\infty -approximations of functions satisfying some...master thesis 2018

Kisantal, Máté (author)Safe navigation in a cluttered environment is a key capability for the autonomous operation of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). This work explores a (deep) Reinforcement Learning (RL) based approach for monocular vision based obstacle avoidance and goal directed navigation for MAVs in cluttered environments. We investigated this problem in the...master thesis 2018

Van Witteveen, K. (author)This thesis investigates the applicability of the Probabilistic Inference for Learning COntrol (PILCO) algorithm to large systems and systems with time varying measurement noise. PILCO is a state-of-the-art model-learning Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm that uses a Gaussian Process (GP) model to average over uncertainties during learning....master thesis 2014

Jacobs, E.J. (author)Considerable overlap exists between emotion and Reinforcement Learning (RL). Emotion influences action selection while RL selects actions based on their anticipated result. Emotions also provide feedback on a situation, reflecting if the situation is desirable or not. The same type of feedback is given in RL based on the results of a state...master thesis 2013
