Hierarchical methods have attracted much recent attention as a means for scaling reinforcement learning algorithms to in-creasingly complex, real-world tasks. These methods pro-vide two important kinds of abstraction that facilitate learn-ing. First, hierarchies organize actions into temporally ab-stract high-level tasks. Second, they facilitate task dependent state abstractions that allow each high-level task to restrict at-tention only to relevant state variables. In most approaches to date, the user must supply suitable task decompositions and state abstractions to the learner. How to discover these hi-erarchies automatically remains a challenging open problem. As a first step towards solving this problem, we introduce a general method f...
