	abstract={Feature selection in reinforcement learning (RL), i.e. choosing
		basis functions such that useful approximations of the unknown value
		function can be obtained, is one of the main challenges in scaling RL to
		real-world applications. Here we consider the Gaussian process based
		framework GPTD for approximate policy evaluation, and propose feature
		selection through marginal likelihood optimization of the associated
		hyperparameters. Our approach has two appealing benefits: (1) given just
		sample transitions, we can solve the policy evaluation problem fully
		automatically (without looking at the learning task, and, in theory,
		independent of the dimensionality of the state space), and (2) model
		selection allows us to consider more sophisticated kernels, which in turn
		enable us to identify relevant subspaces and eliminate irrelevant state
		variables such that we can achieve substantial computational savings and
		improved prediction performance.
