Speaker: Yang Zheng, UC San Diego Abstract: Direct policy search has achieved great empirical success in reinforcement learning. Many recent studies have revisited its theoretical foundation for continuous control, which reveals elegant nonconvex geometry in various benchmark problems. In this talk, we introduce an Extended Convex Lifting (ECL) framework, which reveals hidden convexity in classical optimalContinue reading "Optimization for ML and AI Seminar: Extended Convex Lifting for Policy Optimization in Control"
