Formal proof of vanilla policy gradient convergence

So I stumbled upon this question, where the author asks for a proof of vanilla policy gradient procedures. The answer provided points to some literature, but the formal proof is nowhere to be included....

Understanding Timestamps and Batchsize of Keras LSTM considering Hiddenstates and TBPTT

What I'm trying to do What I am trying to do is predicting the next data-point $x_t$ for each point in the timeseries $[x_0, x_1, x_2,...,x_T]$ in the context of a date-stream in real-time, in theory ...

Input for LSTM for financial time series directional prediction

I'm working on using an LSTM to predict the direction of the market for the next day. My question concerns the input for the LSTM. My data is a financial time series $x_1 \ldots x_t$ where each $x_i$...

Loss Function for Probability Regression

I'm trying to predict a probability with a neural network, but having trouble figuring out which loss function is best. Cross entropy was my first thought, but other resources always talk about it in ...

AdaBoost implementation and tuning for high dimensional feature space in R

I am trying to implement the AdaBoost.M1 algorithm (trees as base-learners) to a data set with a large feature space (~ 20.000 features) and ~ 100 samples in R. ...

Are there any graph embedding algorithms like this already?

I wrote an algorithm for generating node embeddings based on the graph's topology. Most of the explanation is done in the readme file and the examples. The question is: Am I reinventing the wheel? ...

Keras - Implementation of custom loss function with multiple outputs

I am trying to replicate (a way smaller version) of the AlphaGo Zero system. However, in the network model, I am having a problem. The loss function I am supposed to implement is the following: l = ...

When is the sum of models the model of the sum?

The response variable in a regression problem, $Y$, is modeled using a data matrix $X$. In notation, this means: $Y$ ~ $X$ However, $Y$ can be separated out into different components that can be ...

Why is my Keras model not learning image segmentation?

Edit: as is turns out, not even the model's initial creator could successfully fine-tune it. This is most likely a problem of implementation, or possibly related to the non-intuitive way in which the ...

Chi-square as evaluation metrics for nonlinear machine learning regression models

I am using machine learning models to predict an ordinal variable (values: 1,2,3,4, and 5) using 7 different features. I posed this as a regression problem, so the final outputs of a model are ...
