Evaluation of Parallel POMDP based on State Space Partition and State Transition Learning

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Significant problems with Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) lie in a large number of states, causing a long computation time and difficulty of system development. In order to solve these problems, we have applied Hierarchical POMDP (H-POMDP) to the spoken dialogue system (SDS) so far. However, in H-POMDP, the transitions between the states are restricted because of the partition of state space and the hierarchical structure. In this paper, we propose Parallel POMDP (P-POMDP) in which small POMDPs are scattered and they work together in parallel to relax this restriction. In P-POMDP, the reward function is newly formalized to make the system reply optimally. In the experiment, we compared the proposed P-POMDP with H-POMDP and the conventional POMDP in terms of task achievement rates and computation times.
