Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study focused on applying and enhancing the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm to effectively control a Single Inverted Pendulum (SIP) system. The primary objective was to improve the algorithm's performance by addressing common challenges such as overestimation of Q-values and convergence to local optima. The system's behaviour was analyzed through simulation and real-world experiments, showcasing the algorithm's ability to offer faster responses, enhanced stability, and reduced pendulum displacement. The research introduced key modifications to the experience replay mechanism and the Critic network, which played a significant role in improving the efficiency of the learning process and the robustness of the control strategy. By combining Reinforcement Learning with traditional control methods, this approach successfully managed the nonlinear dynamics of the SIP system. Nevertheless, certain challenges persist, particularly in terms of the efficiency of deep reinforcement learning algorithms and their stability in real-world environments. These findings suggest that future research should focus on further refining DRL algorithms to increase their practical application in physical control systems. In conclusion, the research highlights the potential of combining DRL techniques with conventional control strategies for tackling complex control problems. The success achieved in controlling the SIP system indicates a promising direction for further exploration and development in this field.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
