straction is a useful tool for agents interacting with environments. Good state abstractions are compact, reuseable, and easy to learn from sample data. This paper and extends two...
We develop a hierarchical, nonparametric statistical model for wavelet representations of natural images. Extending previous work on Gaussian scale mixtures, wavelet coefficients ...
