Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the study of programs that improve their performance by receiving rewards and punishments from the environment. Most RL methods optimize the discoun...
We present an approximation method that solves a class of Decentralized hybrid Markov Decision Processes (DEC-HMDPs). These DEC-HMDPs have both discrete and continuous state variab...
We consider the task of reinforcement learning in an environment in which rare significant events occur independently of the actions selected by the controlling agent. If these ev...
We present smooth interpretation, a method to systematically approximate numerical imperative programs by smooth mathematical functions. This approximation facilitates the use of ...
Although many real-world stochastic planning problems are more naturally formulated by hybrid models with both discrete and continuous variables, current state-of-the-art methods ...
