If we have a Markov Chain {Xn} on a state space X, with transition probabil-ities Π(x,dy), and a Poisson Process N(t) with intensity λ, we can combine the two to define a continuous time Markov process x(t) with X as state space by the formula x(t) = XN(t) The transition probabilities of this Markov process are ...
Lecture 6a: Introduction to Hidden Markov Models

In HMM additionally, at step a symbol from some fixed alphabet is emitted. Markov Chain – the result of the experiment (what you observe) is a sequence of state visited.

We show that Q-learning’s performance can be poor in stochastic MDPs because of large overestimations of the action val-ues.
