In many applications, decision making under uncertainty often involves two steps- prediction of a certain quality parameter or indicator of the system under study and the subseque...
Planning in partially-observable dynamical systems is a challenging problem, and recent developments in point-based techniques such as Perseus significantly improve performance as...
Most algorithms for solving Markov decision processes rely on a discount factor, which ensures their convergence. It is generally assumed that using an artificially low discount f...
In this paper, dynamic rate shaping for H.264/AVC intracoded video streams is investigated. An analysis of the distortion distinguishes different error components that lead to the...
