A Faster-Than Relation for Semi-Markov Decision Processes [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2020 When modeling concurrent or cyber-physical systems, non-functional requirements such as time are important to consider. In order to improve the timing aspects of a model, it is necessary to have some notion of what it means for a process to be faster ...

Learning to maximize reward rate: a model based on semi-Markov decision processes [PDF]
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.

Continuous-Observation Partially Observable Semi-Markov Decision Processes for Machine Maintenance [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2017 Partially observable semi-Markov decision processes (POSMDPs) provide a rich framework for planning under both state transition uncertainty and observation uncertainty. In this paper, we widen the literature on POSMDP by studying discrete-state, discrete-action yet continuous-observation POSMDPs.

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 ...

Polish Maritime Research, 2021 The article presents the possibility to control the real operation process of an arbitrary device installed in the marine power plant based on the four-state semi-Markov process, being the model of the process, which describes the transition process of ...

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.

Energies, 2022 Oil tanker disasters have been a cause of major environmental disasters, with multi-generational impacts. One of the greatest hazards is damage to the propulsion system that causes the ship to turn sideways to a wave and lose stability, which in storm ...

Application of the Pareto front for risk control in the transport system [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 The article describes the developed model of controlling the process of means of transport operation, in which the choice of control strategy is carried out using non-deterministic methods.

Fast Two-Stage Computation of an Index Policy for Multi-Armed Bandits with Setup Delays
Mathematics, 2020 We consider the multi-armed bandit problem with penalties for switching that include setup delays and costs, extending the former results of the author for the special case with no switching delays.

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
