Researchers have developed a new algorithm for solving Submodular Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), a type of sequential decision-making problem with generalized reward functions. The algorithm, based on Linear Programming (LP) techniques and ideas from the Sherali-Adams hierarchy, provides strong approximation guarantees for both Submodular Orienteering and Submodular MDPs. This work improves upon previous approximation ratios, particularly for Submodular MDPs where the prior guarantee was linear in the time horizon. AI
