AI总结:

本文研究了具有顺序观察转移的有限时间马尔可夫决策过程,提出了一种基于线性规划的高效算法以生成更优策略。

摘要:

马尔可夫决策过程(MDPs)已被用于科学和工程中的许多决策问题。目标是合成最佳决策(动作选择)策略,以在给定的随机动态环境中最大化预期奖励(或最小化成本)。本文扩展了这一模型,纳入了由于动作引起的转移可以顺序观察的信息。所提出的模型受益于这一信息,产生比标准MDPs更好的策略。本文还提出了一种高效的离线线性规划基于算法,以合成扩展模型的最优策略。

英文摘要:

Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) have been used to formulate many decision-making problems in science and engineering. The objective is to synthesize the best decision (action selection) policies to maximize expected rewards (or minimize costs) in a given stochastic dynamical environment. In this paper, we extend this model by incorporating additional information that the transitions due to actions can be sequentially observed. The proposed model benefits from this information and produces policies with better performance than those of standard MDPs. The paper also presents an efficient offline linear programming based algorithm to synthesize optimal policies for the extended model.
