Ideal Partition of Resources for Metareasoning
Eric Horvitz, John Breese
We can achieve significant gains in the value of computation by metareasoning about the nature or extent of base-level problem solving before executing a solution. However, resourc…
Exact Reasoning Under Uncertainty
Samuel Holtzman, John S. Breese
This paper focuses on designing expert systems to support decision making in complex, uncertain environments. In this context, our research indicates that strictly probabilistic re…
Integrating Logical and Probabilistic Reasoning for Decision Making
John S. Breese, Edison Tse
We describe a representation and a set of inference methods that combine logic programming techniques with probabilistic network representations for uncertainty (influence diagrams…
Decision-Theoretic Control of Problem Solving: Principles and Architecture
John S. Breese, Michael R. Fehling
This paper presents an approach to the design of autonomous, real-time systems operating in uncertain environments. We address issues of problem solving and reflective control of r…
The Compilation of Decision Models
David Heckerman, John S. Breese, Eric J. Horvitz
We introduce and analyze the problem of the compilation of decision models from a decision-theoretic perspective. The techniques described allow us to evaluate various configuratio…
Interval Influence Diagrams
Kenneth W. Fertig, John S. Breese
We describe a mechanism for performing probabilistic reasoning in influence diagrams using interval rather than point valued probabilities. We derive the procedures for node remova…
