Optimistic Linear Programming gives Logarithmic Regret for Irreducible MDPs
We present an algorithm called Optimistic Linear Programming (OLP) for learning to optimize average reward in an irreducible but otherwise unknown Markov decision process (MDP). O...

PEGASUS: A policy search method for large MDPs and POMDPs
We propose a new approach to the problem of searching a space of policies for a Markov decision process (MDP) or a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), given a mo...
