Adaptive Resolution Models

In many cases, what we would like to do is partition the environment into regions of states that can be considered the same for the purposes of learning and generating actions. Without detailed prior knowledge of the environment, it is very difficult to know what granularity or placement of partitions is appropriate. This problem is overcome in methods that use adaptive resolution; during the course of learning, a partition is constructed that is appropriate to the environment.
