Fold recognition is a key problem in computational biology that involves classifying protein sharing structural similarities into classes commonly known as "folds". Rece...
We present a learning framework for Markovian decision processes that is based on optimization in the policy space. Instead of using relatively slow gradient-based optimization al...
The organizational algorithm is examined as a computational approach to representing interpersonal learning. The structure of the algorithm is introduced and described in context ...
We state and analyze the first active learning algorithm which works in the presence of arbitrary forms of noise. The algorithm, A2 (for Agnostic Active), relies only upon the ass...

This paper presents a new approach to hierarchical reinforcement learning based on the MAXQ decomposition of the value function. The MAXQ decomposition has both a procedural seman...
