RAIL: Risk-Averse Imitation Learning
Imitation learning algorithms learn viable policies by imitating an expert’s behavior when reward signals are not available. Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning (GAIL) is a state-of-the-art algorithm for learning policies when the expert’s behavior is available as a fixed set of trajectories. We evaluate in terms of the expert’s cost function and observe that the distribution of trajector...
متن کاملX Mechanism Design for a Risk Averse World
We design efficient algorithms to compute truthful mechanisms for risk-averse buyers and sellers, in Bayesian single and multi-dimensional setting. We model risk aversion by a concave utility function, where the seller maximizes its expected utility. Much earlier work on Bayesian mechanism design has focused on maximizing expected revenue, and no succinct characterization of expected utility ma...
متن کاملRisk Averse or Loss Averse: The Behaviour of UK Personal Investors
This paper reports the results of a detailed investigation of the risk-averse and loss-averse behaviour of UK individual investors. An one-period analytical model of investing behaviour is developed to explore the differences between individuals who are risk averse, and those whose behaviour is better described by Kahneman & Tversky’s Prospect Theory. Questionnaire data on risk perceptions is u...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning Leads to Risk Averse Behavior
Animals and humans often have to choose between options with reward distributions that are initially unknown and can only be learned through experience. Recent experimental and theoretical work has demonstrated that such decision processes can be modeled using computational models of reinforcement learning (Daw et al, 2006; Erev & Barron, 2005; Sutton & Barto, 1998). In these models, agents use...
متن کاملLearning from Somaliland? Transferability of learning from volunteering to national health service practice in the UK
BACKGROUND Capacity building partnerships between healthcare institutions have the potential to benefit both partners particularly in staff development. Previous research suggests that volunteering can contribute to professional development but there is little evidence on how learning is acquired, the barriers and facilitators to learning in this context or the process of translation of learnin...
