Decentralized Control of Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes using Belief Space Macro-actions [PDF]
, 2015 The focus of this paper is on solving multi-robot planning problems in continuous spaces with partial observability. Decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes (Dec-POMDPs) are general models for multi-robot coordination problems, but ...

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

Some work and some play: microscopic and macroscopic approaches to labor and leisure. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 Given the option, humans and other animals elect to distribute their time between work and leisure, rather than choosing all of one and none of the other.

A survey on semi-Markov decision processes [PDF]
SCIENTIA SINICA Mathematica, 2015 This paper is a survey on semi-Markov decision processes (SMDPs). We present the background, the signi cance, and the research actuality of the in nite horizon expected discounted reward criterion, the long-run expected average reward criterion, the nite horizon expected reward criterion, the expected rst passage reward criterion, the probability ...

The Complexity of Relating Quantum Channels to Master Equations [PDF]
, 2010 Completely positive, trace preserving (CPT) maps and Lindblad master equations are both widely used to describe the dynamics of open quantum systems. The connection between these two descriptions is a classic topic in mathematical physics.

Optimal maintenance of deteriorating equipment using semi-Markov decision processes and linear programming [PDF]
International Journal of Industrial Engineering and ManagementThis paper considers a mathematical model analysing the deterioration of system equipment and available maintenance options. Under specific conditions on costs and transition probabilities of the model, the issue of ideal maintenance of the equipment by ...

Multi-state models for evaluating conversion options in life insurance [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper we propose a multi-state model for the evaluation of the conversion option contract. The multi-state model is based on age-indexed semi-Markov chains that are able to reproduce many important aspects that influence the valuation of the ...
