Approximability of Probability Distributions
We consider the question of how well a given distribution can be approximated with probabilistic graphical models. We introduce a new parameter, effective treewidth, that captures...

Time-Critical Action: Representations and Application
We review the problem of time-critical action and discuss a reformulation that shifts knowledge acquisition from the assessment of complex temporal probabilistic dependencies to t...

On sign conditions over real multivariate polynomials
We present a new probabilistic algorithm to find a finite set of points intersecting the closure of each connected component of the realization of every sign condition over a fami...

Learning Symbolic Models of Stochastic Domains
In this article, we work towards the goal of developing agents that can learn to act in complex worlds. We develop a a new probabilistic planning rule representation to compactly ...

Adaptive MCMC with Bayesian Optimization
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...
