Domain-Independent Planning for Markov Decision Processes with Factored State and Action Spaces

Creator:

Raghavan, Aswin

Abstract:

Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are the de-facto formalism for studying sequential decision making problems with uncertainty, ranging from classical problems such as inventory control and path planning, to more complex problems such as reservoir control under rainfall uncertainty and emergency response optimization for fire and medical emergencies. Most prior research...

Effective decision-theoretic assistance through relational hierarchical models

Creator:

Natarajan, Sriraam

Abstract:

Building intelligent computer assistants has been a long-cherished goal of AI. Many intelligent assistant systems were built and fine-tuned to specific application domains. In this work, we develop a general model of assistance that combines three powerful ideas: decision theory, hierarchical task models and probabilistic relational languages. We use the...
