This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book reviews research developments in diverse areas of reinforcement learning such as model-free actor-critic methods, model-based learning and control, information geometry of policy searches, reward design, and exploration in biology and the behavioral sciences. Special emphasis is placed on advanced ideas, algorithms, methods, and applications. The contributed papers gathered here grew out of a lecture course on reinforcement learning held by Prof. Jan Peters in the winter semester 2018/2019 at Technische Universität Darmstadt. The book is intended for reinforcement learning students and researchers with a firm grasp of linear algebra, statistics, and optimization. Nevertheless, all key concepts are introduced in each chapter, making the content self-contained and accessible to a broader audience. 216 pp. Englisch.

About the Author
Boris Belousov is a Ph.D. student at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany, advised by Prof. Jan Peters. He received his M.Sc. degree from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, in 2016, supported by a DAAD scholarship for academic excellence. Boris is now working toward combining optimal control and information theory with applications to robotics and reinforcement learning.
Hany Abdulsamad is a Ph.D. student at the TU Darmstadt, Germany. He graduated with a Master’s degree in Automation and Control from the faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the TU Darmstadt. His research interests range from optimal control and trajectory optimization to reinforcement learning and robotics. Hany’s current research focuses on learning hierarchical structures for system identification and control.
After graduating with a Master’s degree in Autonomous Systems from the Technische Universität Darmstadt, Pascal Klink pursued his Ph.D. studies at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group of the TU Darmstadt, where he developed methods for reinforcement learning in unstructured, partially observable real-world environments. Currently, he is investigating curriculum learning methods and how to use them to facilitate learning in these environments.Simone Parisi joined Prof. Jan Peter’s Intelligent Autonomous System lab in October 2014 as a Ph.D. student. Before pursuing his Ph.D., Simone completed his M.Sc. in Computer Science Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, and at the University of Queensland, Australia, under the supervision of Prof. Marcello Restelli and Dr. Matteo Pirotta. Simone is currently working to develop reinforcement learning algorithms that can achieve autonomous learning in real-world tasks with little to no human intervention. His research interests include, among others, reinforcement learning, robotics, dimensionality reduction, exploration, intrinsic motivation, and multi-objective optimization. He has collaborated with Prof. Emtiyaz Khan and Dr. Voot Tangkaratt of RIKEN AIP in Tokyo, and his work has been presented at universities and research institutes in the US, Germany, Japan, and Holland.
Jan Peters is a Full Professor of Intelligent Autonomous Systems at the Computer Science Department of the Technische Universität Darmstadt and an adjunct senior research scientist at the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where he heads the Robot Learning Group (combining the Empirical Inference and Autonomous Motion departments). Jan Peters has received numerous awards, most notably the Dick Volz Best US PhD Thesis Runner Up Award, the Robotics: Science & Systems - Early Career Spotlight Award, the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society’s Early Career Award, and the International Neural Networks Society’s Young Investigator Award.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
