This paper presents a new framework for accumulating beliefs in spoken dialogue systems. The technique is based on updating a Bayesian Network that represents the underlying state...
How should a reinforcement learning agent act if its sole purpose is to efficiently learn an optimal policy for later use? In other words, how should it explore, to be able to exp...
Markov Decision Processes are a powerful framework for planning under uncertainty, but current algorithms have difficulties scaling to large problems. We present a novel probabil...
— We consider the problem of task assignment and execution in multirobot systems, by proposing a procedure for bid estimation in auction protocols. Auctions are of interest to mu...
We study the computational complexity of basic decision problems for one-counter simple stochastic games (OC-SSGs), under various objectives. OC-SSGs are 2-player turn-based stoch...
