	Andrew McCallum's PhD Thesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This problem can often be solved if the agent uses selective perception to prune away unnecessary distinctions, and focus its attention only certain features.
		This dissertation presents algorithms that use selective perception and short-term memory to simultaneously prune and augment the state space provided by the agent's perceptual inputs.
		During learning, the agent selects task-relevant state distinctions with a utile distinction test that uses robust statistics to determine when a distinction helps the agent predict reward.
