Explanation-Based Reinforcement Learning (EBRL) was introduced by Dietterich and Flann as a way of combining the ability of Reinforcement Learning (RL) to learn optimal plans with...
Accurate estimation of signal delay is critical to the design and verification of VLSI circuits. At very high frequencies, signal delay in circuits with small feature sizes is do...
Domain-specific features are important in representing problem structure throughout machine learning and decision-theoretic planning. In planning, once state features are provide...
We present a novel method for learning with Gaussian process regression in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. In a first step, kernel matrices on a fixed set of input points are l...
This paper describes Icarus, an agent architecture that embeds a hierarchical reinforcement learning algorithm within a language for specifying agent behavior. An Icarus program e...
