Hierarchical, Symbolic, Language, and Multi-Agent Planning
Explains how options, symbolic STRIPS planning, language grounding, and multi-agent belief models structure long-horizon planning and where abstractions fail.
Experienced analytics, AI, and technology leader with 13+ years of experience across data science, private equity, management consulting, entrepreneurship, and software engineering. Sharing thoughts on these topics.
Explains how options, symbolic STRIPS planning, language grounding, and multi-agent belief models structure long-horizon planning and where abstractions fail.
Explains how agents trade reward for information using dual control, information gain, curiosity, and safe exploration in world-model decision making.
Explains how actor-critic policies train inside learned world models, covering latent rollouts, lambda-returns, value expansion, and model exploitation.
Covers MCTS, UCT, PUCT, belief-space planning, and POMCP for decision-making under uncertainty with a hidden-state maze and tiger problem.
Explains how gradients flow through world-model rollouts, from adjoint backpropagation to action optimization, terminal values, and long-horizon stability.
Explains how sampling-based planning and model predictive control turn black-box world models into controllers, using random shooting, CEM.
