Abstract
We explore generic mechanisms to introduce structural hints into the method of Unsupervised Kernel Regression (UKR) in order to learn representations of data sequences in a semi-supervised way. These new extensions are targeted at representing a dextrous manipulation task. We thus evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanisms on appropriate toy data that mimic the characteristics of the aimed manipulation task and thereby provide means for a systematic evaluation.
