Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, system and computer program product for choosing actions in a state of a planning problem. The system simulates one or more sequences of actions, state transitions and rewards starting from the current state of the planning problem. During the simulation of performing a given action in a given state, a data record is maintained of observed contextual state information, and observed cumulative reward resulting from the action. The system performs a regression fit on the data records, enabling estimation of expected reward as a function of contextual state. The estimations of expected rewards are used to guide the choice of actions during the simulations. Upon completion of all simulations, the top-level action which obtained highest mean reward during the simulations is recommended to be executed in the current state of the planning problem.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for choosing actions in a current state of a planning problem, the method comprising: partitioning a representation of states of a planning problem into a base state representation and a contextual state representation, said contextual state representation providing contextual variables configurable for a regression analysis; running, in a simulation model of said current state of a planning problem, a plurality of simulation trials initiated from…
