Learning agile humanoid behaviors from human motion offers a powerful route to natural, coordinated control, but existing approaches face a persistent trade-off: reference-tracking policies are often brittle outside the demonstration…
It is often advantageous to train models on a subset of the available train examples, because the examples are of variable quality or because one would like to train with fewer examples, without sacrificing performance. We present Gradient…
In this paper, we consider controlled linear dynamical systems in which the controller has only access to a compressed version of the system state. The technical problem we investigate is that of allocating compression resources over time…
