Natural Strategic Ability in Stochastic Multi-Agent Systems

no code implementations22 Jan 2024 Raphaël Berthon, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Munyque Mittelmann, Aniello Murano

We also give a 2NEXPTIME complexity result for NatPATL* with the same restriction.

Finding an $ε$-close Variation of Parameters in Bayesian Networks

no code implementations17 May 2023 Bahare Salmani, Joost-Pieter Katoen

This paper addresses the $\epsilon$-close parameter tuning problem for Bayesian Networks (BNs): find a minimal $\epsilon$-close amendment of probability entries in a given set of (rows in) conditional probability tables that make a given quantitative constraint on the BN valid.

no code implementations15 Feb 2022 Kevin Batz, Adrian Gallus, Benjamin Lucien Kaminski, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Tobias Winkler

We study weighted programming, a programming paradigm for specifying mathematical models.

Under-Approximating Expected Total Rewards in POMDPs

no code implementations21 Jan 2022 Alexander Bork, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Tim Quatmann

We consider the problem: is the optimal expected total reward to reach a goal state in a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) below a given threshold?

Convex Optimization for Parameter Synthesis in MDPs

1 code implementation30 Jun 2021 Murat Cubuktepe, Nils Jansen, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Ufuk Topcu

The parameter synthesis problem is to compute an instantiation of these unspecified parameters such that the resulting MDP satisfies the temporal logic specification.

Fine-Tuning the Odds in Bayesian Networks

no code implementations29 May 2021 Bahare Salmani, Joost-Pieter Katoen

This paper proposes various new analysis techniques for Bayes networks in which conditional probability tables (CPTs) may contain symbolic variables.

Inductive Synthesis for Probabilistic Programs Reaches New Horizons

no code implementations29 Jan 2021 Roman Andriushchenko, Milan Ceska, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen

The method builds on a novel inductive oracle that greedily generates counter-examples (CEs) for violating programs and uses them to prune the family.

Probabilistic Data with Continuous Distributions

no code implementations28 Jan 2021 Martin Grohe, Benjamin Lucien Kaminski, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Peter Lindner

In (Grohe, Kaminski, Katoen, Lindner; PODS 2020) we extend the declarative probabilistic programming language Generative Datalog, proposed by (B\'ar\'any et al.~2017) for discrete probability distributions, to continuous probability distributions and show that such programs yield generative models of continuous probabilistic databases.

Bayesian Inference by Symbolic Model Checking

no code implementations29 Jul 2020 Bahare Salmani, Joost-Pieter Katoen

This paper applies probabilistic model checking techniques for discrete Markov chains to inference in Bayesian networks.

Verification of indefinite-horizon POMDPs

1 code implementation30 Jun 2020 Alexander Bork, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Tim Quatmann

This paper considers the verification problem for partially observable MDPs, in which the policies make their decisions based on (the history of) the observations emitted by the system.

Counterexample-Driven Synthesis for Probabilistic Program Sketches

1 code implementation28 Apr 2019 Milan Češka, Christian Hensel, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen

Probabilistic programs are key to deal with uncertainty in e. g. controller synthesis.

Shepherding Hordes of Markov Chains

1 code implementation15 Feb 2019 Milan Ceska, Nils Jansen, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen

This paper considers large families of Markov chains (MCs) that are defined over a set of parameters with finite discrete domains.

The Partially Observable Games We Play for Cyber Deception

no code implementations28 Sep 2018 Mohamadreza Ahmadi, Murat Cubuktepe, Nils Jansen, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Ufuk Topcu

Then, the deception problem is to compute a strategy for the deceiver that minimizes the expected cost of deception against all strategies of the infiltrator.

Synthesis in pMDPs: A Tale of 1001 Parameters

no code implementations5 Mar 2018 Murat Cubuktepe, Nils Jansen, Sebastian Junges, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Ufuk Topcu

This paper considers parametric Markov decision processes (pMDPs) whose transitions are equipped with affine functions over a finite set of parameters.

Strategy Synthesis in POMDPs via Game-Based Abstractions

no code implementations14 Aug 2017 Leonore Winterer, Sebastian Junges, Ralf Wimmer, Nils Jansen, Ufuk Topcu, Joost-Pieter Katoen, Bernd Becker

We study synthesis problems with constraints in partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), where the objective is to compute a strategy for an agent that is guaranteed to satisfy certain safety and performance specifications.
