Abstract

We extend a reinforcement learning algorithm, REINFORCE [13] which has previously been used to cluster data [10]. By using base Gaussian learners, we extend the method so that it can perform a variety of unsupervised learning tasks such as principal component analysis, exploratory projection pursuit and canonical correlation analysis.
