Feature Transformation Strategies for a Robot Learning Problem

  • Chapter
Feature Extraction, Construction and Selection

Abstract

This chapter illustrates, with a case study from the robotized assembly domain, the importance of feature transformation. The specific problem that is addressed is learning failure diagnosis models for a pick-and-place operation. Several feature transformation strategies are evaluated on flat as well as hierarchical learning problems. The SKIL learning algorithm, previously proposed by the authors, is used in most experiments. A comparison with an oblique tree learning algorithm is also included.
