Online POMDP Methods

Last edited: August 8, 2025

These are basically MDP methods but tweaked. We make some changes:

  1. for everywhere that we need a state, we use a belief
  2. to sample the next state given an action (random next step), we call our generative model to get a new observation, and call update(b,a,o) with our filter to propegate our belief forward
  3. if we need an action-value, we use the one-step lookahead in POMDP:

\begin{equation} Q(b,a) = R(b,a)+\gamma \qty(\sum_{o}^{}P(o|b,a) U^{\Gamma}(update(b,a,o))) \end{equation}

where,

\begin{equation} R(b,a) = \sum_{s}^{} R(s,a)b(s) \end{equation}

Open Voice Brain Model

The Open Voice Brain Model is a audio processing architecture proposed by Laguarta 2021 for audio/biomarker correlation work.

Here’s a fairly self-explanatory figure:

The model outputs an AD diagnoses as well as a longitudinal correlation with Memory, Mood, and Respiratory biomarkers.

This is then the embedding that they are proposing for use by other tasks.

Topics

CS111 leverages CS107 experience to show operating systems and how they function.

What is an operating system

  • operating system sits between hardware and user programs
  • most importantly: manages shared resources to allow the program to run
    • CPU: gets which program to do work and for how long
    • RAM: how much memory to give to a program
    • Hard Drive

Main Events

  • concurrency: switch between processes so quickly to only use on core while concurrent access
  • memory: memory addresses are mostly scattered everywhere — everything include the lowest level including CPU uses only virtual memory, translated by the OS
  • file management
  • i/o devices
  • networking: CS144
  • security: interactions between users in a system

Main Components of the Course

  • File Systems
  • Process and Multiprocess
  • Threads
  • Virtual Memory + Paging + limits
  • Modern Technologies/Niceties

This is object dependent.
