This paper describes the use of machine learning to improve the performance of natural language question answering systems. We present a model for improving story comprehension th...
In the Bayesian approach to sequential decision making, exact calculation of the (subjective) utility is intractable. This extends to most special cases of interest, such as reinfo...
A wide variety of function approximation schemes have been applied to reinforcement learning. However, Bayesian filtering approaches, which have been shown efficient in other field...
We consider the exploration/exploitation problem in reinforcement learning (RL). The Bayesian approach to model-based RL offers an elegant solution to this problem, by considering...
Bayesian priors offer a compact yet general means of incorporating domain knowledge into many learning tasks. The correctness of the Bayesian analysis and inference, however, lar...
