IEEE Technical Committee-Adaptive Dynamic Programming and Reinforcement Learning
http://ieee-cis.org/technical/adprltc/
NameThis organization is known as the Adaptive Dynamic Programming and Reinforcement Learning Technical Committee (ADPRLTC) of the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of the ADPRLTC is to promote the research, development, education, and understanding of adaptive dynamic programming and reinforcement learning methods, including both theoretical and experimental approaches.
Membership
The ADPRLTC members are appointed by the CIS President with the agreement of the ADPRLTC Chair for a one-year term. The term of service expires at the end of the calendar year for which they have been appointed.
Officers
The ADPRLTC Chair is appointed by the CIS President with the agreement of the CIS EXCOM for a one-year term. The term of service expires at the end of the calendar year for which the ADPRLTC Chair has been appointed. No more than two consecutive full terms are permitted.
Funding
There is no membership fee for joining the ADPRLTC. Funding for the committee shall be provided by the CIS in the annual budget request. Once approved by the CIS ExCom and AdCom, funds will be available to support the ADPRLTC activities. The Chair shall be responsible for the appropriate use of the approved funds with supporting documentation.
Activities
The ADPRLTC shall engage in various activities in order to promote adaptive dynamic programming and reinforcement learning as a viable technology, including but not limited to the following: Identify and promote new areas of research, propose special sessions to the CIS-sponsored conference organizers, participate in paper review and selection for CIS-sponsored conferences and publications, coordinate with the International Neural Network Society for the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks in which ADPRL is also active, recommend candidates to different Award Committees such as for the best papers published in the Transactions on Neural Networks, promote IEEE Senior Members and Fellows program, collaborate on production of tutorials and book series, maintain the Committee¡¦s website, facilitate local chapters activities and organize specialized workshops or meetings. The ADPRLTC will assist in soliciting conference proposals and actively work with the organizers of CIS-sponsored conferences to insure their technical excellence.
Meetings
Meetings will be called by the Chair once or twice a year, usually in conjunction with the CIS AdCom meetings and the world congress on computational intelligence (WCCI) or the symposium series on computational intelligence (SSCI), or as requested by the ADPRLTC members. Sufficient advance notice of the meetings will be given to the members, as well as to other interested parties. The Chair shall prepare an agenda before the meeting, and shall prepare minutes for distribution after the meeting.
Amendments
This Charter becomes official after at least 2/3 core members present at The Committee Meeting approves it. Subsequent changes and amendments also require 2/3 majority vote.

In ADP and RL, we need a function approximator to represent the learned function, either the value, or the policy, or a model of the dynamics. Tools used for such approximation includes neural networks and many others. There are also issues on how to represent a state in order to achieve the best learning curve. Many issues are intertwined here, ranging from fundamental issues, to algorithmic ones, and practical ones.

Efficient self-improvement by trial and error is a key ability to allow robots to adapt to their environment and to learn new tricks. Reinforcement learning offers some of the most general tools in order to fomulate such robot learning problems while robotics is in theory a natural application domain for reinforcement learning. However, most reinforcement learning methods cannot be applied straightforwardly in robotics as the real-world constraints of the domain are creating exceedingly complex scenarios. On the other hand, robotics offers an enormous source of inspirations to reinforcement learning, Hence, it is essential to bring the insights from robotics into reinforcement learning and to create domain-appropriate reinforcement learning methods for robotics.
