Learning to maximize reward rate: a model based on semi-Markov decision processes
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 When animals have to make a number of decisions during a limited time interval, they face a fundamental problem: how much time they should spend on each decision in order to achieve the maximum possible total outcome.

Journal of Industrial Engineering International, 2017 Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in ...

Towards Analysis of Semi-Markov Decision Processes [PDF]
, 2010 We investigate Semi-Markov Decision Processes (SMDPs). Two problems are studied, namely, the time-bounded reachability problem and the long-run average fraction of time problem. The former aims to compute the maximal (or minimum) probability to reach a certain set of states within a given time bound.

Optimal Control of Partially Observable Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes
, 2018 In this paper we consider a control problem for a Partially Observable Piecewise Deterministic Markov Process of the following type: After the jump of the process the controller receives a noisy signal about the state and the aim is to control the ...

Inference Strategies for Solving Semi-Markov Decision Processes
, 2012 Semi-Markov decision processes are used to formulate many control problems and also play a key role in hierarchical reinforcement learning. In this chapter we show how to translate the decision making problem into a form that can instead be solved by inference and learning techniques.
