We propose a structured prediction approach for robot imitation learning from demonstrations. Among various tools for robot imitation learning, supervised learning has been observed to have a prominent role. Structured prediction is a form…

We develop projection pursuit for data that admit a natural representation in matrix form. For projection indices, we propose extensions of the classical kurtosis and Mardia's multivariate kurtosis. The first index estimates projections for…
