This paper investigates the problem of automatically learning how to restructure the reward function of a Markov decision process so as to speed up reinforcement learning. We begi...
Hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) is a general framework which studies how to exploit the structure of actions and tasks to accelerate policy learning in large domains. Pri...
My research attempts to address on-line action selection in reinforcement learning from a Bayesian perspective. The idea is to develop more effective action selection techniques b...
Embedded systems for closed-loop applications often behave as discrete-time semi-Markov processes (DTSMPs). Performability measures most meaningful to iterative embedded systems, ...
Formalisms based on stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs) can employ structural analysis to ensure that the underlying stochastic process is fully determined. The focus is on the detection...
