HTN-MAKER: Learning HTNs with Minimal Additional Knowledge Engineering Required
We describe HTN-MAKER, an algorithm for learning hierarchical planning knowledge in the form of decomposition methods for Hierarchical Task Networks (HTNs). HTNMAKER takes as inpu...

Reinforcement Learning with Soft State Aggregation
It is widely accepted that the use of more compact representations than lookup tables is crucial to scaling reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms to real-world problems. Unfortun...
