Efficient Sequential Decision-Making Algorithms for Container Inspection Operations
Following work of Stroud and Saeger (Proceedings of ISI, Springer Verlag, New York, 2006) and Anand et al. (Proceedings of Computer, Communication and Control Technologies, 2003), we formulate a port of entry inspection sequencing task as a problem of finding an optimal binary decision tree for an appropriate Boolean decision function. We report on new algorithms for finding such optimal trees ...
متن کاملScalable Algorithms for Multiagent Sequential Decision Making
Introduction In artificial intelligence, decision theory deals with computing a sequence of actions (policy) that an autonomous agent must take in order to optimize its rewards (obtain its goals in the most efficient manner). In many real world situation , an autonomous agent must deal with various sources of uncertainty while computing its optimal policy. In single agent settings, such decisio...
متن کاملExperimental Analysis of Sequential Decision Making Algorithms for Port of Entry Inspection Procedures
Following work of Stroud and Saeger, we investigate the formulation of the port of entry inspection algorithm problem as a problem of finding an optimal binary decision tree for an appropriate Boolean decision function. We report on an experimental analysis of the robustness of the conclusions of the Stroud-Saeger analysis and show that the optimal inspection strategy is remarkably insensitive ...
متن کاملAxioms for a Class of Algorithms of Sequential Decision Making
We axiomatically characterise a class of algorithms for making sequential decisions in situations of complete ignorance. These algorithms assume that a decision maker (DM) (human or or a software agent) has exogenously defined utilities for prizes and she uses the empirical distribution of prizes to calculate the “expected utility” of each action maximising this expected utility at each stage o...
متن کاملStop Nuclear Smuggling Through Efficient Container Inspection
Since 2003, the U.S. government has spent $850 million on the Megaport Initiative which aims at stopping the nuclear smuggling in international container shipping through advanced inspection facilities including Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) and Mobile Radiation Detection and Identification System (MRDIS). Unfortunately, it remains a significant challenge to efficiently inspect more than 11.7 ...
