Markov decision processes (MDP) are a well-established model for sequential decision-making in the presence of probabilities. In *robust* MDP (RMDP), every action is associated with an *uncertainty set* of probability distributions, modelling that transition probabilities are not known precisely. Ba…
Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are a classical model for decision making in the presence of uncertainty. Often they are viewed as state transformers with planning objectives defined with respect to paths over MDP states. An increasingly popular alternative is to view them as distribution transform…
We treat the problem of risk-aware control for stochastic shortest path (SSP) on Markov decision processes (MDP). Typically, expectation is considered for SSP, which however is oblivious to the incurred risk. We present an alternative view, instead optimizing conditional value-at-risk (CVaR), an est…
