Arango, Erica (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Yang, M. (author), Sousa, Hélder S. (author), Stewart, Mark G. (author), Matos, José C. (author)The severe effects of extreme wildfire events in recent years have shown that the fire suppression approach is not enough to solve the problem. An alternative to dealing with this issue is to accept the impossibility of eliminating wildfire hazards and focus on preparing systems to be more resilient. However, existing decision-making tools...journal article 2023

Yang, Q. (author), Simão, T. D. (author), Jansen, Nils (author), Tindemans, Simon H. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author)Safety is critical to broadening the application of reinforcement learning (RL). Often, we train RL agents in a controlled environment, such as a laboratory, before deploying them in the real world. However, the real-world target task might be unknown prior to deployment. Reward-free RL trains an agent without the reward to adapt quickly once...conference paper 2023

Mesbah, Sepideh (author), Arous, Ines (author), Yang, J. (author), Bozzon, A. (author)Evaluating design ideas is necessary to predict their success and assess their impact early on in the process. Existing methods rely either on metrics computed by systems that are effective but subject to errors and bias, or experts' ratings, which are accurate but expensive and long to collect. Crowdsourcing offers a compelling way to...conference paper 2023
