Stochastic Decision

Stochastic decision-making focuses on modeling and optimizing choices under uncertainty, aiming to find optimal strategies in situations with probabilistic outcomes. Current research emphasizes efficient algorithms for solving Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), particularly those with constraints, using techniques like Monte Carlo planning and conformal prediction to quantify uncertainty and improve decision quality. These advancements have implications for diverse fields, including resource allocation, electricity market optimization, and the design of safe and controllable artificial agents, by enabling more robust and reliable decision-making in complex systems.
