EWRL 2012 aims to serve as a forum to discuss the current state-of-the-

art and future research directions in the continuously growing field

of reinforcement learning. We intend to make this an exciting event

not only for the European RL community but also international

researchers from related areas with many opportunities to share new

knowledge and encourage collaborative work.

The main question of this workshop is to discuss, how other

statistical learning techniques may be used to developed new RL

approaches in order to achieve properties including higher numerical

robustness, easier use in terms of open parameters, probabilistic and

Bayesian interpretations, better scalability, the inclusions of prior

knowledge, etc.

We are calling for papers from the entire reinforcement

learning spectrum, with the option of either 3 page short

papers (on which open discussion will be held) or longer 12

page LNAI format research papers. We encourage a range of

submissions to encourage broad discussion. We aim to publish selected

papers in the prestigious Springer LNAI proceedings.

Double submissions are allowed, however in the event that an EWRL

paper is accepted to another conference proceedings or journal,

copyright restrictions prevent it from being reprinted in the official

EWRL proceedings. The paper would still be considered,

however, for acceptance and presentation at EWRL.

We encourage submissions from a range of sub-topics including

(but not limited to):

- Reinforcement Learning Theory

- Function Approximation in Reinforcement Learning

- Current Progress in Bandit Regret Bounds

- MDPs, POMDPs

- Exploration vs Exploration Tradeoff

- Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

- Policy Search

- Actor-Critic Methods

- Bayesian Control Approaches

- RL Benchmark Problems

- Real-world Applications

Keynote Speakers:

Richard Sutton (University of Alberta)

Shie Mannor (Technion)

Martin Riedmiller (University of Freiburg)

Drew Bagnell (CMU) (tentative)

Submission deadline: April 15, 2012

Page limit: 3 pages for short papers and 12 pages for regular papers.

Paper format: LNAI Springer: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
