Moerland, Thomas M. (author), Broekens, D.J. (author), Plaat, Aske (author), Jonker, C.M. (author)Sequential decision making, commonly formalized as optimization of a Markov Decision Process, is a key challenge in artificial intelligence. Two successful approaches to MDP optimization are reinforcement learning and planning, which both largely have their own research communities. However, if both research fields solve the same problem,...journal article 2022

Singh, Vishal (author), Singh, Pushpendra Kumar (author), Jain, Sanjay Kumar (author), Jain, Sharad Kumar (author), Cudennec, Christophe (author), Hessels, T.M. (author)This study explores recent changes in evaporative demand and water availability across 100 river sub-basins in India by partitioning the actual evapotranspiration (AET) into green water evapotranspiration (ET-Green) and blue water evapotranspiration (ET-Blue). For computation of ET-Green and ET-Blue, the Budyko framework is applied to long...journal article 2022
