| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a fast Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm to solve Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) problem. The proposed algorithm is devised to provide a policyשּׂaking framework for Network Management Systems (NMS) which is in essence an engineering application without an exact model.<p>The algorithm consists of two phases. Firstly, the model is estimated and policy is learned in a completely observable simulator. Secondly, the estimated model is brought into the partially observed realorld where the learned policy is then fineהּuned.<p>The learning algorithm is based on the onאּolicy linear gradientﬤescent learning algorithm with eligibility traces. This implies that the Qזּalue on belief space is linearly approximated by the Qזּalue at vertex over the belief space where onשּׁine TD method will be applied.<p>The proposed algorithm is tested against the exact solutions to extensive small/middleדּize benchmark examples from POMDP literature and found near optimal in terms of averageﬤiscountedגּeward and stepהּogoal. The proposed algorithm significantly reduces the convergence time and can easily be adapted to large stateאַumber problems. | en_US |
