Sequential decision making using Bayesian networks and reinforcement learning: to determine the hydrocarbon prospect exploration strategy

In the process of drilling wells to produce hydrocarbons, an exploration strategy is used to determine which wells should be drilled and in which order. This strategy is vital, as a suboptimal drilling sequence will lead to more expenses and fewer gains.<br/>Furthermore, the wells considered in most exploration strategies are geologically<br/...

Decision Making under Uncertainty for Automated Vehicles in Urban Situations

One of the most crucial links to building an autonomous system is the task of decision making. The ability of a vehicle to make robust decisions on its own by predicting and assessing future consequences is what makes it intelligent. This task of decision making becomes even more complex due to the fact that the real world is uncertain,...
