Researchers have introduced Belief Embedding Tree Search (BETS), a novel Monte Carlo planner designed for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). BETS represents beliefs using a generative distribution embedding (GDE) and trains its belief model concurrently with its policy and value networks. This approach allows the model to learn the optimal belief representation directly from the POMDP's dynamics and realized hidden states. Evaluations on benchmark tasks like RockSample, LightDark, and PocMan demonstrated BETS's competitive performance against existing methods, particularly in high-dimensional belief spaces. AI
