Abstract: Bayesian reinforcement learning in partially observable domains is notoriously difficult, in part due to the unknown form of the beliefs and the optimal value function.We show that beliefs represented by mixtures of products of Dirichlet distributions are closed under belief updates for factored domains.Belief monitoring algorithms that use this mixture representation are proposed.We also show that the optimal value function is a linear combination of products of Dirichlets for factored domains.Finally, we extend BEETLE, which is a point-based value iteration algorithm for Bayesian RL in fully observable domains, to partially observable domains.
