• Abstract: Learning stabilizing controllers from data is an important task in engineering applications; however, collecting informative data is challenging because unstable systems often lead to rapidly growing or erratic trajectories. In this work, we propose an adaptive sampling scheme that generates data while simultaneously stabilizing the system to avoid instabilities during the data collection. Under mild assumptions, the approach provably generates data sets that are informative for stabilization and have minimal size. The numerical experiments demonstrate that controller inference with the novel adaptive sampling approach learns controllers with up to one order of magnitude fewer data samples than unguided data generation. The results show that the proposed approach opens the door to stabilizing systems in edge cases and limit states where instabilities often occur and data collection is inherently difficult.

• Stochastic Gradient Descent with Adaptive Data [4.119418481809095]
  gradient descent (SGD) is a powerful optimization technique that is particularly useful in online learning scenarios. Applying SGD to policy optimization problems in operations research involves a distinct challenge: the policy changes the environment and thereby affects the data used to update the policy. The influence of previous decisions on the data generated introduces bias in the gradient estimate, which presents a potential source of instability for online learning not present in the iid case. We show that the convergence speed of SGD with adaptive data is largely similar to the classical iid setting, as long as the mixing time of the policy-induced dynamics is factored in.

There are two updating strategies: 1) mimicking strategy to generate similar samples based on original data, and 2) extending strategy that further expands existing samples.
