State Space Search for Risk-Averse Agents
Proceedings of the Twentieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Pages 2353-2357.
Abstract
We investigate search problems under risk in state-space graphs, with the aim of finding optimal paths for risk-averse agents. We consider problems where uncertainty is due to the existence of different scenarios of known probabilities, with different impacts on costs of solution-paths. We consider various non-linear decision criteria (EU, RDU, Yaari) to express risk averse preferences; then we provide a general optimization procedure for such criteria, based on a path-ranking algorithm applied on a scalarized valuation of the graph. We also consider partial preference models like second order stochastic dominance (SSD) and propose a multiobjective search algorithm to determine SSD-optimal paths. Finally, the numerical performance of our algorithms are presented and discussed.
