Journal ArticleDOI
Decision-theoretic planning: structural assumptions and computational leverage
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview and synthesis of MDP-related methods, showing how they provide a unifying framework for modeling many classes of planning problems studied in AI.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for reasoning about persistence and causation
Thomas Dean,Keiji Kanazawa +1 more
TL;DR: A model of causal reasoning that accounts for knowledge concerning cause‐and‐effect relationships and knowledge concerning the tendency for propositions to persist or not as a function of time passing is described.
Proceedings Article
An analysis of time-dependent planning
Thomas Dean,Mark S. Boddy +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a framework for exploring issues in time-dependent planning: planning in which the time available to respond to predicted events varies, and the decision making required to formulate effective responses is complex.
Book
Planning and Control
Thomas Dean,Michael P. Wellman +1 more
TL;DR: This book is useful to researchers in artificial intelligence and control theory, and others concerned with the design of complex applications in robotics, automated manufacturing, and time-critical decision support.
Proceedings Article
On the complexity of solving Markov decision problems
TL;DR: It is argued that, although MDPs can be solved efficiently in theory, more study is needed to reveal practical algorithms for solving large problems quickly and to encourage future research, some alternative methods of analysis are sketched that rely on the structure of M DPs.
