Mean-variance optimality for semi-Markov decision processes under first passage criteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
summary:This paper deals with a first passage mean-variance problem for semi-Markov decision processes in Borel spaces. The goal is to minimize the variance of a total discounted reward up to the system's first entry to some target set, where the ...

Hierarchical dialogue optimization using semi-Markov decision processes [PDF]

open access: yesInterspeech 2007, 2007
This paper addresses the problem of dialogue optimization on large search spaces. For such a purpose, in this paper we propose to learn dialogue strategies using multiple Semi-Markov Decision Processes and hierarchical reinforcement learning. This approach factorizes state variables and actions in order to learn a hierarchy of policies. Our experiments

Another set of verifiable conditions for average Markov decision processes with Borel spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
summary:In this paper we give a new set of verifiable conditions for the existence of average optimal stationary policies in discrete-time Markov decision processes with Borel spaces and unbounded reward/cost functions. More precisely, we provide another

Stochastic-based pavement performance and deterioration models: A review of techniques and applications

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal
Infrastructure assets, such as pavements, naturally deteriorate over time due to traffic loads, environmental conditions, and other external factors. Traditionally, deterministic models have been employed to predict performance, aiding in work planning ...

Nonlinear Markov games on a finite state space (mean-field and binary interactions) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Managing large complex stochastic systems, including competitive interests, when one or several players can control the behavior of a large number of particles (agents, mechanisms, vehicles, subsidiaries, species, police units, etc), say Nk for a player ...

Weaving Intelligence: Thermally Drawn Multimaterial Fibers Toward AI‐Enabled Smart Textiles

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally drawn multimaterial fibers are rapidly advancing as intelligent structural units for next‐generation smart textiles. Integrating multimaterial architectures with neuromorphic and spiking‐neural‐network principles enables fabrics that can sense, compute, and adapt autonomously.

A safe reinforcement learning approach for autonomous navigation of mobile robots in dynamic environments

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract When deploying mobile robots in real‐world scenarios, such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and schools, collisions with pedestrians are intolerable and catastrophic. Motion safety becomes one of the most fundamental requirements for mobile robots.
