A drama manager (DM) monitors an interactive experience, such as a computer game, and intervenes to shape the global experience so it satisfies the author's expressive goals ...
Reinforcement learning (RL) was originally proposed as a framework to allow agents to learn in an online fashion as they interact with their environment. Existing RL algorithms co...

Abstract. Two main challenges of robot action planning in real domains are uncertain action effects and dynamic environments. In this paper, an instance-based action model is lear...
We present Variable Influence Structure Analysis, or VISA, an algorithm that performs hierarchical decomposition of factored Markov decision processes. VISA uses a dynamic Bayesia...
In sequential decision making under uncertainty, as in many other modeling endeavors, researchers observe a dynamical system and collect data measuring its behavior over time. The...
