A Bayesian Model Predicts Human Parse Preference and Reading Times in Sentence Processing
Narayanan and Jurafsky (1998) proposed that human language comprehension can be modeled by treating human comprehenders as Bayesian reasoners, and modeling the comprehension proce...

Linear-time inference in Hierarchical HMMs
The hierarchical hidden Markov model (HHMM) is a generalization of the hidden Markov model (HMM) that models sequences with structure at many length/time scales [FST98]. Unfortuna...

The Steering Approach for Multi-Criteria Reinforcement Learning
We consider the problem of learning to attain multiple goals in a dynamic environment, which is initially unknown. In addition, the environment may contain arbitrarily varying ele...
