Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinforcement learning encompasses both a science of adaptive behavior of rational beings in uncertain environments and a computational methodology for finding optimal behaviors for challenging problems in control, optimization and adaptive behavior of intelligent agents. As a field, reinforcement learning has progressed tremendously in the past decade. The main goal of this book is to present an up-to-date series of survey articles on the main contemporary sub-fields of reinforcement learning. This includes surveys on partially observable environments, hierarchical task decompositions, relational knowledge representation and predictive state representations. Furthermore, topics such as transfer, evolutionary methods and continuous spaces in reinforcement learning are surveyed. In addition, several chapters review reinforcement learning methods in robotics, in games, and in computational neuroscience. In total seventeen different subfields are presented by mostly young experts in those areas, and together they truly represent a state-of-the-art of current reinforcement learning research. Marco Wiering works at the artificial intelligence department of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. He has published extensively on various reinforcement learning topics. Martijn van Otterlo works in the cognitive artificial intelligence group at the Radboud University Nijmegen in The Netherlands. He has mainly focused on expressive knowledge representation in reinforcement learning settings.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide a natural and principled framework to model a wide range of sequential decision making problems under uncertainty. To date, the use of POMDPs in real-world problems has been limited by the poor scalability of existing solution algorithms, which can only solve problems with up to ten thousand states. In fact, the complexity of finding an optimal policy for a finite-horizon discrete POMDP is PSPACE-complete. In practice, two important sources of intractability plague most solution algorithms: Large policy spaces and large state spaces. In practice, it is critical to simultaneously mitigate the impact of complex policy representations and large state spaces. Hence, this thesis describes three approaches that combine techniques capable of dealing with each source of intractability: VDC with BPI, VDC with Perseus (a randomized point-based value iteration algorithm by Spaan and Vlassis [136]), and state abstraction with Perseus. The scalability of those approaches is demonstrated on two problems with more than 33 million states: synthetic network management and a real-world system designed to assist elderly persons with cognitive deficiencies to carry out simple daily tasks such as hand-washing. This represents an important step towards the deployment of POMDP techniques in ever larger, real-world, sequential decision making problems. On the other hand, for many real-world POMDPs it is possible to define effective policies with simple rules of thumb. This suggests that we may be able to find small policies that are near optimal. This thesis first presents a Bounded Policy Iteration (BPI) algorithm to robustly find a good policy represented by a small finite state controller. Real-world POMDPs also tend to exhibit structural properties that can be exploited to mitigate the effect of large state spaces. To that effect, a value-directed compression (VDC) technique is also presented to reduce POMDP models to lower dimensional representations.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision making under uncertainty is a popular topic in the field of artificial intelligence. One popular way to attack such problems is by using a sound mathematical model. Notably, Partially Observable Markov Processes (POMDPs) have been the subject of extended researches over the last ten years or so. However, solving a POMDP is a very time-consuming task and for this reason, the model has not been used extensively. Our objective was to continue the tremendous progress that has been made over the last couple of years, with the hope that our work will be a step toward applying POMDPs in large-scale problems. To do so, we combined different ideas in order to produce a new algorithm called SSVI (Stochastic Search Value Iteration). Three major accomplishments were achieved throughout this research work. Firstly, we developed a new offline POMDP algorithm which, on benchmark problems, proved to be more efficient than state of the arts algorithm. The originality of our method comes from the fact that it is a stochastic algorithm, in comparison with the usual determinist algorithms. Secondly, the algorithm we developed can also be applied in a particular type of online environments, in which this algorithm outperforms by a significant margin the competition. Finally, we also applied a basic version of our algorithm in a complex military simulation in the context of the Combat Identification project from DRDC-Valcartier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, introducing the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them. Automated decision-making systems or decision-support systems—used in applications that range from aircraft collision avoidance to breast cancer screening—must be designed to account for various sources of uncertainty while carefully balancing multiple objectives. This textbook provides a broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, covering the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them. The book first addresses the problem of reasoning about uncertainty and objectives in simple decisions at a single point in time, and then turns to sequential decision problems in stochastic environments where the outcomes of our actions are uncertain. It goes on to address model uncertainty, when we do not start with a known model and must learn how to act through interaction with the environment; state uncertainty, in which we do not know the current state of the environment due to imperfect perceptual information; and decision contexts involving multiple agents. The book focuses primarily on planning and reinforcement learning, although some of the techniques presented draw on elements of supervised learning and optimization. Algorithms are implemented in the Julia programming language. Figures, examples, and exercises convey the intuition behind the various approaches presented.

Download or read book Simulation-Based Algorithms for Markov Decision Processes written by Hyeong Soo Chang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Markov decision process (MDP) models are widely used for modeling sequential decision-making problems that arise in engineering, economics, computer science, and the social sciences. Many real-world problems modeled by MDPs have huge state and/or action spaces, giving an opening to the curse of dimensionality and so making practical solution of the resulting models intractable. In other cases, the system of interest is too complex to allow explicit specification of some of the MDP model parameters, but simulation samples are readily available (e.g., for random transitions and costs). For these settings, various sampling and population-based algorithms have been developed to overcome the difficulties of computing an optimal solution in terms of a policy and/or value function. Specific approaches include adaptive sampling, evolutionary policy iteration, evolutionary random policy search, and model reference adaptive search. This substantially enlarged new edition reflects the latest developments in novel algorithms and their underpinning theories, and presents an updated account of the topics that have emerged since the publication of the first edition. Includes: innovative material on MDPs, both in constrained settings and with uncertain transition properties; game-theoretic method for solving MDPs; theories for developing roll-out based algorithms; and details of approximation stochastic annealing, a population-based on-line simulation-based algorithm. The self-contained approach of this book will appeal not only to researchers in MDPs, stochastic modeling, and control, and simulation but will be a valuable source of tuition and reference for students of control and operations research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) is a mathematical framework for planning and control problems in which actions have stochastic effects and observations provide uncertain state information. It is widely used for research in decision-theoretic planning and reinforcement learning. To cope with partial observability, a policy (or plan) must use memory, and previous work has shown that a finite-state controller provides a good policy representation. This thesis considers a previously-developed bounded policy iteration algorithm for POMDPs that finds policies that take the form of stochastic finite-state controllers. Two new improvements of this algorithm are developed. First improvement provides a simplification of the basic linear program, which is used to find improved controllers. This results in a considerable speed-up in efficiency of the original algorithm. Secondly, a branch and bound algorithm for adding the best possible node to the controller is presented, which provides an error bound and a test for global optimality. Experimental results show that these enhancements significantly improve the algorithm's performance.
