SUMMARY:School Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shimon Whiteson: Multi-Objective Decision Making\n\nMany real-world problems require making decisions that involve multiple possibly conflicting objectives. To succeed in such tasks, intelligent agents need algorithms that can efficiently find different ways of balancing the trade-offs that such objectives present. In this talk, I provide an introduction to decision-theoretic planning in the presence of multiple objectives. First, I present an overview of multi-objective decision-theoretic formalisms and show that different assumptions about these problems lead to different solution concepts such as the convex hull and the Pareto front. Then, I present an algorithm developed in my group, called Optimistic Linear Support, which can be combined with a wide range of single-objective solvers to yield an anytime algorithm that efficiently approximates the convex hull, often with bounded error.\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=402
