Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) can be solved in a model-based way using explicit knowledge of the environmental dynamics or in a model-free way using implicit representations of task-relevant states. Here we consider a model-free approach of combining an echo state network (ESN) for summarizing past actions and observations and a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) for learning action values in a high-dimensional state space. Simulation results in robot navigation tasks showed that the ESN can capture relevant information in the sequence of high dimensional observations and that RBM can construct task-oriented internal representation in its hidden layer.
