A Logical Study of Partial Entailment
We introduce a novel logical notion–partial entailment–to propositional logic. In contrast with classical entailment, that a formula P partially entails another formula Q with...

Using Rewards for Belief State Updates in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDP) provide a standard framework for sequential decision making in stochastic environments. In this setting, an agent takes actio...
