Value-based observation compression for DEC-POMDPs
Representing agent policies compactly is essential for improving the scalability of multi-agent planning algorithms. In this paper, we focus on developing a pruning technique that...

Suspending and resuming tasks in BDI agents
Intelligent agents designed to work in complex, dynamic environments must respond robustly and flexibly to environmental and circumstantial changes. An agent must be capable of de...

A model of gaze for the purpose of emotional expression in virtual embodied agents
Currently, state of the art virtual agents lack the ability to display emotion as seen in actual humans, or even in hand-animated characters. One reason for the emotional inexpres...

Dynamics based control with PSRs
We present an extension of the Dynamics Based Control (DBC) paradigm to environment models based on Predictive State Representations (PSRs). We show an approximate greedy version ...

Approximate predictive state representations
Predictive state representations (PSRs) are models that represent the state of a dynamical system as a set of predictions about future events. The existing work with PSRs focuses ...
