We consider a finite-state Markov decision problem and establish the convergence of a special case of optimistic policy iteration that involves Monte Carlo estimation of Q-values,...

We cast model-free reinforcement learning as the problem of maximizing the likelihood of a probabilistic mixture model via sampling, addressing both the infinite and finite horizo...

We describe a point-based policy iteration (PBPI) algorithm for infinite-horizon POMDPs. PBPI replaces the exact policy improvement step of Hansen’s policy iteration with point...

We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...
