Risk aversion in finite Markov Decision Processes using total cost criteria and average value at risk [PDF]
2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2016 In this paper we present an algorithm to compute risk averse policies in Markov Decision Processes (MDP) when the total cost criterion is used together with the average value at risk (AVaR) metric. Risk averse policies are needed when large deviations from the expected behavior may have detrimental effects, and conventional MDP algorithms usually ...
