Researchers develop decision trees for explainable POMDP policies

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel method to represent finite-memory policies for Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) using a combination of decision trees and Mealy machines. This approach aims to make complex policies more interpretable and smaller in size. The new representation method is designed to generalize to various finite-memory policy variants and has been shown to produce simpler representations for specific policy types, enhancing explainability through case studies.

    Explainable Representation of Finite-Memory Policies for POMDPs using Decision Trees

    arXiv:2411.13365v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are a fundamental framework for decision-making under uncertainty and partial observability. Since in general optimal policies may require infinite memory, they are hard to…
