Coding Time-Varying Signals Using Sparse, Shift-Invariant Representations
A common way to represent a time series is to divide it into shortduration blocks, each of which is then represented by a set of basis functions. A limitation of this approach, ho...

Solving Factored MDPs with Exponential-Family Transition Models
Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...

Patch-Graph Reconstruction for Piecewise Smooth Surfaces
In this paper we present a new surface reconstruction technique for piecewise smooth surfaces from point clouds, such as scans of architectural sites or man-made artifacts. The te...

Learning Horizontal Connections in a Sparse Coding Model of Natural Images
It has been shown that adapting a dictionary of basis functions to the statistics of natural images so as to maximize sparsity in the coefficients results in a set of dictionary ...

Basis Function Construction in Reinforcement Learning Using Cascade-Correlation Learning Architecture
In reinforcement learning, it is a common practice to map the state(-action) space to a different one using basis functions. This transformation aims to represent the input data i...

Controlling complexity of RBF networks by similarity
Abstract. Using radial basis function networks for function approximation tasks suffers from unavailable knowledge about an adequate network size. In this work, a measuring techni...

Optical Rails
We present a view-based method for steering a robot in a network of positions; this includes navigation along a prerecorded path, but also allows for arbitrary movement of the robo...

Compact Spectral Bases for Value Function Approximation Using Kronecker Factorization
A new spectral approach to value function approximation has recently been proposed to automatically construct basis functions from samples. Global basis functions called proto-val...
