Monte Carlo Hidden Markov Models: Learning Non-Parametric Models of Partially Observable Stochastic Processes
We present a learning algorithm for non-parametric hidden Markov models with continuous state and observation spaces. All necessary probability densities are approximated using sa...

The O.D.E. Method for Convergence of Stochastic Approximation and Reinforcement Learning
It is shown here that stability of the stochastic approximation algorithm is implied by the asymptotic stability of the origin for an associated ODE. This in turn implies convergen...

On step sizes, stochastic shortest paths, and survival probabilities in Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a simulation-based technique useful in solving Markov decision processes if their transition probabilities are not easily obtainable or if the probl...
