Exploiting multiple abstractions in episodic RL via reward shaping by Cipollone, R, De Giacomo, G, Favorito, M, Iocchi, L, Patrizi, F

“…In this work, we propose a novel form of Reward Shaping where the solution obtained at the abstract level is used to offer rewards to the more concrete MDP, in such a way that the abstract solution guides the learning in the more complex domain. …”

Learning an alphabet of shape and appearance for multi-class object detection by Opelt, A, Pinz, A, Zisserman, A

“…We present a novel algorithmic approach to object categorization and detection that can learn category specific detectors, using Boosting, from a visual alphabet of shape and appearance. The alphabet itself is learnt incrementally during this process. …”
