Recurrent Predictive State Policy Networks

Ahmed Hefny, Zita Marinho, Wen Sun +2

We introduce Recurrent Predictive State Policy (RPSP) networks, a recurrent architecture that brings insights from predictive state representations to reinforcement learning in par…

Predictive State Recurrent Neural Networks

Carlton Downey, Ahmed Hefny, Boyue Li +2

We present a new model, Predictive State Recurrent Neural Networks (PSRNNs), for filtering and prediction in dynamical systems. PSRNNs draw on insights from both Recurrent Neural N…

Practical Learning of Predictive State Representations

Carlton Downey, Ahmed Hefny, Geoffrey Gordon

Over the past decade there has been considerable interest in spectral algorithms for learning Predictive State Representations (PSRs). Spectral algorithms have appealing theoretica…

An Efficient, Expressive and Local Minima-free Method for Learning Controlled Dynamical Systems

Ahmed Hefny, Carlton Downey, Geoffrey J. Gordon

We propose a framework for modeling and estimating the state of controlled dynamical systems, where an agent can affect the system through actions and receives partial observations…

Supervised Learning for Dynamical System Learning

Ahmed Hefny, Carlton Downey, Geoffrey Gordon

Recently there has been substantial interest in spectral methods for learning dynamical systems. These methods are popular since they often offer a good tradeoff between computatio…

A non-parametric mixture model for topic modeling over time

Avinava Dubey, Ahmed Hefny, Sinead Williamson +1

A single, stationary topic model such as latent Dirichlet allocation is inappropriate for modeling corpora that span long time periods, as the popularity of topics is likely to cha…
