Point-based value iteration

Point-based value iteration solver (Pineau et al., 2003, Shani et al., 2012) for the POMDPs.jl framework.

Installation

This package is available from Julia's General package registry.

using Pkg
Pkg.add("PointBasedValueIteration")

Usage

using PointBasedValueIteration
using POMDPModels
pomdp = TigerPOMDP() # initialize POMDP

solver = PBVISolver() # set the solver

policy = solve(solver, pomdp) # solve the POMDP

The function solve returns an AlphaVectorPolicy as defined in POMDPTools.
