SUMMARY:HMMs for controlling dynamical systems - Marcus Frean

DESCRIPTION:The talk speculates on one way of using a hidden Markov model 
 to control a dynamical system\, by simultaneously learning the HMM as a pr
 edictive model and using that model to optimize a policy online. I'll try 
 to compare this with the TD approach\, and present some examples on (very)
  toy problems. My aim is really to start a discussion around this general 
 theme rather than to promote one particular algorithm.
