The hierarchical Dirichlet process hidden Markov model (HDP-HMM) is a flexible, nonparametric model which allows state spaces of unknown size to be learned from data. We demonstra...

Approximate policy iteration methods based on temporal differences are popular in practice, and have been tested extensively, dating to the early nineties, but the associated conve...
One knowledge discovery problem in the rapid response setting is the cost of learning which patterns are indicative of a threat. This typically involves a detailed follow-through,...

In this paper, we consider the problem of planning and learning in the infinite-horizon discounted-reward Markov decision problems. We propose a novel iterative direct policysearc...
Systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are often used to model the dynamics of complex biological pathways. We construct a discrete state model as a probabilistic appro...
