In this Paper we propose a simple yet effective set of local control rules to make a group of "herder agents" collect and contain in a desired region an ensemble of non-cooperative stochastic "target agents" in the plane. We investigate the…

Swarm Intelligence-based optimization techniques combine systematic exploration of the search space with information available from neighbors and rely strongly on communication among agents. These algorithms are typically employed to solve…

Subspace clustering refers to the problem of clustering unlabeled high-dimensional data points into a union of low-dimensional linear subspaces, whose number, orientations, and dimensions are all unknown. In practice one may have access to…

Offline procedures for estimating parameters of robot dynamics are practically based on the parameterized inverse dynamic model. In this paper, we present a novel approach to parameter estimation of robot dynamics which removes the…

The analysis in Part I revealed interesting properties for subgradient learning algorithms in the context of stochastic optimization when gradient noise is present. These algorithms are used when the risk functions are non-smooth and…

Many machine learning models, such as logistic regression~(LR) and support vector machine~(SVM), can be formulated as composite optimization problems. Recently, many distributed stochastic optimization~(DSO) methods have been proposed to…

Reinforcement learning algorithms require a large amount of samples; this often limits their real-world applications on even simple tasks. Such a challenge is more outstanding in multi-agent tasks, as each step of operation is more costly…

We systematically develop a learning-based treatment of stochastic optimal control (SOC), relying on direct optimization of parametric control policies. We propose a derivation of adjoint sensitivity results for stochastic differential…

This paper considers social learning amongst rational agents (for example, sensors in a network). We consider three models of social learning in increasing order of sophistication. In the first model, based on its private observation of a…

Diffusions are a successful technique to sample from high-dimensional distributions. The target distribution can be either explicitly given or learnt from a collection of samples. They implement a diffusion process whose endpoint is a…

In this paper, we consider a distributed joint sensing and communication (DJSC) system in which multiple radar sensors are deployed. Each sensor is equipped with a sensing function and a communication function, and thus it is a JSC node.…

Measurements and sensing implementations impose certain cost in sensor networks. The sensor selection cost optimization is the problem of minimizing the sensing cost of monitoring a physical (or cyber- physical) system. Consider a given set…

Central Force Optimization is a deterministic metaheuristic for an evolutionary algorithm that searches a decision space by flying probes whose trajectories are computed using a gravitational metaphor. CFO benefits substantially from the…

Selection of perefect parameters for low-pass filters can sometimes be an expensive problem with no analytical solution or differentiability of cost function. In this paper, we introduce a new PSO-inspired algorithm, that incorporates the…
