HSVI

One-Liner

“impact of approximation decreases as steps from the root node”

Novelty

  • combined alpha-vector and forward heuristics to guide search of belief states before backup
  • 100x times faster in PBVI
  • scales to huge environments

Goal: minimize “regret” (difference until optimal policy)

Novelty HSVI 2

  • Projected the upper bound onto a convex hull (HSVI2: via approximate convex hull projection)
  • uses blind lower bound

Notable Methods

Social Learning is the property of learning with other agents in your environment.

  • learning from feedback
  • human ai coordination
  • social learning
  • adversarial training

Social Network

Last edited: August 8, 2025

A Social Network is a scheme for studying the relationships and interactions amongst groups of people.

  • people: \(V\)
  • relationship: \(E\)
  • system: a network \(G(V,E)\)

Importantly, the “labels” of \(E\) often do not matter as we frequently want to study only the graphical structure of the Social Network.

degree (node)

The degree of a node is the number of edges that are touching that node (whether in or out, or undirected).

The in-degree and out-degree are the number of edges touching that node (going in or out) respectively.
