Recommendation as a Stochastic Sequential Decision Problem
Recommender systems — systems that suggest to users in e-commerce sites items that might interest them — adopt a static view of the recommendation process and treat it as a pr...

A Sequential Decision Approach to Ordinal Preferences in Recommender Systems
We propose a novel sequential decision approach to modeling ordinal ratings in collaborative filtering problems. The rating process is assumed to start from the lowest level, eva...

Evaluation of Algorithms for Sequential Decision in Biosonar Target Classification
A sequential decision problem, based on the task of identifying the species of trees given acoustic echo data collected from them, is considered with well-known stochastic classifi...

Sequential Hypothesis Testing under Stochastic Deadlines
Most models of decision-making in neuroscience assume an infinite horizon, which yields an optimal solution that integrates evidence up to a fixed decision threshold; however, u...

Combining Stochastic Task Models with Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Scheduling
We view dynamic scheduling as a sequential decision problem. Firstly, we introduce a generalized planning operator, the stochastic task model (STM), which predicts the effects of ...
