Symbolic Generalization for On-line Planning
Symbolic representations have been used successfully in off-line planning algorithms for Markov decision processes. We show that they can also improve the performance of online p...

A Simple Insight into Iterative Belief Propagation's Success
In non-ergodic belief networks the posterior belief of many queries given evidence may become zero. The paper shows that when belief propagation is applied iteratively over arbitr...
