Learning Causal State Representations of Partially Observable Environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Intelligent agents can cope with sensory-rich environments by learning task-agnostic state abstractions. In this paper, we propose mechanisms to approximate causal states, which optimally compress the joint history of actions and observations in ...

Quantitative access control with partially-observable Markov decision processes

open access: yesProceedings of the second ACM conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy, 2012
We study observation-based strategies for partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with parity objectives. An observationbased strategy relies on partial information about the history of a play, namely, on the past sequence of observations.

Prioritizing Feasible and Impactful Actions to Enable Secure AI Development and Use in Biology

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As artificial intelligence continues to enhance biological innovation, the potential for misuse must be addressed to fully unlock the potential societal benefits. While significant work has been done to evaluate general‐purpose AI and specialized biological design tools (BDTs) for biothreat creation risks, actionable steps to mitigate the risk

A POMDP Framework for Coordinated Guidance of Autonomous UAVs for Multitarget Tracking

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2009
This paper discusses the application of the theory of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) to the design of guidance algorithms for controlling the motion of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with onboard sensors to improve tracking of ...

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Decision-Making for Path Planning of Mobile Robots Under Uncertainty: A Review of Belief-Space Planning Simplifications

open access: yesRobotics
Uncertainty remains a central challenge in robotic navigation, exploration, and coordination. This paper examines how Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) and their decentralized variants (Dec-POMDPs) provide a rigorous foundation for ...

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

An MBSE Approach for Development of Resilient Automated Automotive Systems

open access: yesSystems, 2019
Advanced driver assistance and automated driving systems must operate in complex environments and make safety-critical decisions. Resilient behavior of these systems in their targeted operation design domain is essential.

The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned
