Incremental Learning of Planning Operators in Stochastic Domains

In this work we assume that there is an agent in an unknown environment (domain). This agent has some predefined actions and it can perceive its current state in the environment completely. The mission of this agent is to fulfill the tasks (goals) that are often assigned to it as fast as it can. Acting has lots of cost, and usually planning and simulating the environment can reduce this cost. In this paper we address a new approach for incremental induction of probabilistic planning operators, from this environment while the agent tries to reach to its current goals. It should be noted that there have been some works related to incremental induction of deterministic planning operators and batch learning of probabilistic planning operators, but the problem of incremental induction of probabilistic planning operators has not been studied yet. We also address some trade offs such as exploration (for better learning of stochastic operators, acting) and exploitation (for fast discovery o...
