Call for Participation and deadline extension
ECML/PKDD 2013 Workshop on
Reinforcement Learning with Generalized Feedback: Beyond Numeric Rewards
September 23rd 2013
<http://www.ke.tu-darmstadt.de/events/PBRL-13/pbrl-13.html>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that the deadline to this workshop has been extended to July 5th!
TOPICS OF INTEREST
In recent years, different generalizations of the standard setting of
reinforcement learning have emerged; in particular, several attempts
have been made to relax the quite restrictive requirement for numeric
feedback and to learn from different types of more flexible training
information. Examples of generalized settings of that kind include
apprenticeship learning, inverse reinforcement learning, multi-objective
reinforcement learning, and preference-based reinforcement learning.
Learning in these generalized frameworks can be considerably harder than
learning in MDPs because rewards cannot be easily aggregated over
different states.
Topics of interest therefore include but are not limited to
* novel frameworks for reinforcement learning beyond MDPs
* algorithms for learning from preferences and non-numeric,
qualitative, or structured feedback
* theoretical results on the learnability of optimal policies,
convergence of algorithms in qualitative settings, etc.
* applications and benchmark problems for reinforcement learning in
non-standard settings.
SUBMISSIONS
Please e-mail submissions in Springer LNCS format to both workshop chairs.
There is no strict page limit, but we encourage authors to stay within
the page limits of the main conference (16 pages). We particularly
encourage short papers (8 pages or less).
Should there be a high turnout in papers with high quality, we will also
consider a post-workshop publication, such as a special issue or a book.
We like to emphasize, however, that the ambition of the workshop is not
to collect mature work ready for publication but to provide a forum of
exchange for researchers, with the possibility to discuss ongoing
developments and work in progress.
