Efficient Solutions to Factored MDPs with Imprecise Transition Probabilities
When modeling real-world decision-theoretic planning problems in the Markov decision process (MDP) framework, it is often impossible to obtain a completely accurate estimate of tr...

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...

Generating Hierarchical Structure in Reinforcement Learning from State Variables
This paper presents the CQ algorithm which decomposes and solves a Markov Decision Process (MDP) by automatically generating a hierarchy of smaller MDPs using state variables. The ...
