AN ADAPTIVE CONTROLLER INSPIRED BY RECENT RESULTS ON LEARNING FROM EXPERTS
Abstract

P. R. KUMAR

In computational learning theory there have been some interesting developments recently on the problem of ``learning from experts.''

In this paper, we ``adapt'' the learning problem to an adaptive control formulation. What results is an adaptive controller which is reminiscent of a certainty equivalence scheme using the ``posterior mean'' for the parameter estimator. We show that this scheme can be analyzed in a somewhat novel way, for ideal linear systems. The analysis techniques may be of some interest to researchers in the theory of adaptive control.
