Present and past thesis projects under my supervision:
 | Nikolaus Mayer: Globale Explorationsstrategien (German) This thesis analyzes the effects of globally directed exploration on a learning agent's performance. We introduce the BELT growing-batch algorithm which, for the first time, employs a learning procedure to create an independent policy for exploration itself. Compared to undirected and locally directed exploration, we find global exploration to accelerate the learning of good policies. Bachelor Thesis, finished 09/2011, PDF |
