Conditional Approximate Normalizing Flows for Joint Multi-Step Probabilistic Forecasting with Application to Electricity Demand

1 code implementation8 Jan 2022 Arec Jamgochian, Di wu, Kunal Menda, Soyeon Jung, Mykel J. Kochenderfer

In this paper, we introduce the conditional approximate normalizing flow (CANF) to make probabilistic multi-step time-series forecasts when correlations are present over long time horizons.

Training Structured Mechanical Models by Minimizing Discrete Euler-Lagrange Residual

1 code implementation5 May 2021 Kunal Menda, Jayesh K. Gupta, Zachary Manchester, Mykel J. Kochenderfer

Structured Mechanical Models (SMMs) are a data-efficient black-box parameterization of mechanical systems, typically fit to data by minimizing the error between predicted and observed accelerations or next states.

Structured Mechanical Models for Robot Learning and Control

1 code implementation L4DC 2020 Jayesh K. Gupta, Kunal Menda, Zachary Manchester, Mykel J. Kochenderfer

Deep neural networks have been used to learn models of robot dynamics from data, but they suffer from data-inefficiency and the difficulty to incorporate prior knowledge.

Non-linear System Identification from Partial Observations via Iterative Smoothing and Learning

no code implementations25 Sep 2019 Kunal Menda, Jean de Becdelièvre, Jayesh K Gupta, Ilan Kroo, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, Zachary Manchester

System identification is the process of building a mathematical model of an unknown system from measurements of its inputs and outputs.

A General Framework for Structured Learning of Mechanical Systems

1 code implementation22 Feb 2019 Jayesh K. Gupta, Kunal Menda, Zachary Manchester, Mykel J. Kochenderfer

We address the need for a flexible, gray-box model of mechanical systems that can seamlessly incorporate prior knowledge where it is available, and train expressive function approximators where it is not.

EnsembleDAgger: A Bayesian Approach to Safe Imitation Learning

no code implementations22 Jul 2018 Kunal Menda, Katherine Driggs-Campbell, Mykel J. Kochenderfer

While imitation learning is often used in robotics, the approach frequently suffers from data mismatch and compounding errors.

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Event-Driven Multi-Agent Decision Processes

1 code implementation19 Sep 2017 Kunal Menda, Yi-Chun Chen, Justin Grana, James W. Bono, Brendan D. Tracey, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, David Wolpert

The incorporation of macro-actions (temporally extended actions) into multi-agent decision problems has the potential to address the curse of dimensionality associated with such decision problems.

DropoutDAgger: A Bayesian Approach to Safe Imitation Learning

no code implementations18 Sep 2017 Kunal Menda, Katherine Driggs-Campbell, Mykel J. Kochenderfer

While imitation learning is becoming common practice in robotics, this approach often suffers from data mismatch and compounding errors.
