Communication-Based Decomposition Mechanisms for Decentralized MDPs
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...

Symbolic Dynamic Programming for First-Order MDPs
We present a dynamic programming approach for the solution of first-order Markov decisions processes. This technique uses an MDP whose dynamics is represented in a variant of the ...

Hierarchical Eigensolver for Transition Matrices in Spectral Methods
We show how to build hierarchical, reduced-rank representation for large stochastic matrices and use this representation to design an efficient algorithm for computing the largest...

Online exploration in least-squares policy iteration
One of the key problems in reinforcement learning is balancing exploration and exploitation. Another is learning and acting in large or even continuous Markov decision processes (...

A multi-agent framework for a hybrid dialog management system
The importance of dialog management systems has increased in recent years. Dialog systems are created for domain specific applications, so that a high demand for a flexible dialog...
