Solving Influence Diagrams using HUGIN, Shafer-Shenoy and Lazy Propagation
In this paper we present three different architectures for the evaluation of influence diagrams: HUGIN, Shafer-Shenoy (S-S), and Lazy Propagation (LP). HUGIN and LP are two new ar...

Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...

Vector-space Analysis of Belief-state Approximation for POMDPs
We propose a new approach to value-directed belief state approximationfor POMDPs. The valuedirected model allows one to choose approximation methods for belief state monitoringtha...

Policy Improvement for POMDPs Using Normalized Importance Sampling
We present a new method for estimating the expected return of a POMDP from experience. The estimator does not assume any knowledge of the POMDP, can estimate the returns for finit...

UCP-Networks: A Directed Graphical Representation of Conditional Utilities
We propose a directed graphical representation of utility functions, called UCP-networks, that combines aspects of two existing preference models: generalized additive models and ...
