-- In this paper it is explored whether personalisation of an existing computational model of attention can increase the model's validity. Computational models of attention ar...
Sustainable resource management in many domains presents large continuous stochastic optimization problems, which can often be modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). To solv...
Consider the problem of protecting endangered species by selecting patches of land to be used for conservation purposes. Typically, the availability of patches changes over time, ...
