Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling with Gaussian Processes
We present a novel method for Gaussian process regression in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. The method is suited for cases where data from separate, but related problem scenarios is available. In the hierarchical framework, kernel matrices on a fixed set of input points (transduction) can be learned from data using a simple and efficient EM algorithm. This does not require a parametric form...
متن کاملHierarchical Solution of Large Markov Decision Processes
This paper presents an algorithm for finding approximately optimal policies in very large Markov decision processes by constructing a hierarchical model and then solving it. This strategy sacrifices optimality for the ability to address a large class of very large problems. Our algorithm works efficiently on enumerated-states and factored MDPs by constructing a hierarchical structure that is no...
متن کاملComposing Nested Web Processes Using Hierarchical Semi-Markov Decision Processes
Many methods proposed for automated composition of Web processes use classical AI planning approaches such as rulebased planning, PDDL, and HTN planning. Web processes generated by classical planning methods suffer from the assumption of deterministic behavior of Web services and do not take into account fundamental QoS issues like service reliability and response time. In this paper, we propos...
متن کاملHierarchical Control and Learning for Markov Decision Processes Abstract Hierarchical Control and Learning for Markov Decision Processes
This dissertation investigates the use of hierarchy and problem decomposition as a means of solving large, stochastic, sequential decision problems. These problems are framed as Markov decision problems (MDPs). The new technical content of this dissertation begins with a discussion of the concept of temporal abstraction. Temporal abstraction is shown to be equivalent to the transformation of a ...
متن کاملModelling of Decision Making for Discrete Processes in Dynamic Environments*
In this paper we consider the use of rules and knowledge-based systems for the modelling of a broad class of decision problems. NEGOPLAN is a rule-based decision support tool, originally designed for negotiation support. We have used it to model processes with two participants, where the structure of the problem at any moment can be derived from the previous structure and decisions. We present ...
