We discuss the problem of finding a good state representation in stochastic systems with observations. We develop a duality theory that generalizes existing work in predictive sta...

We propose that a top priority of the cerebral cortex must be the discovery and explicit representation of the environmental variables that contribute as major factors to environme...
We introduce in this paper a generalization of the widely used hidden Markov models (HMM's), which we name "structural hidden Markov models" (SHMM). Our approach is ...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) have succeeded in planning domains that require balancing actions that increase an agent's knowledge and actions that ...
Gesture is a non-verbal modality that can contribute crucial information to the understanding of natural language. But not all gestures are informative, and non-communicative hand...
