Learning agents that interact with complex environments often cannot predict the exact outcome of their actions due to noisy sensors or incomplete knowledge of the world. Learning the internal representation of such partially observable environments has proven to be a difficult problem. In order to simplify this task, the agent can choose to give up building an exact model which is able to predict all possible future behaviours, and replace it with a more modest goal of predicting only specific quantities of interest.In this thesis we are primarily concerned with ways of representing the agent's state that allows it to predict the conditional probability of a restricted set of future events, given the agent's past experience. Because of mem...
