  abstract={
    In many learning and optimization tasks, the sample cost of performing the 
task is prohibitively expensive or time consuming. For this reason, attempting 
to directly employ a learning algorithm on the task could quickly become 
intractable. For this reason, learning is instead often performed on a less 
expensive task that is believed to be a reasonable approximation or a surrogate 
of the actual target task.  This paper serves to present and motivate the 
challenging open problem of simultaneously performing learning on an 
approximation of the true target task, while at the same time adapting the 
surrogate task used for learning to be a better representation of the true 
target task.  Our work, which is still in progress, is performed in the RoboCup 
3D simulation environment where we attempt to learn the configuration 
parameters for an omnidirectional walk engine used by humanoid robot soccer 
playing agents.
