2. A Structured, Probabilistic Representation of Action

Author

Abstract

When agents devise plans for execution in the real world, they face two important forms of uncertainty: they can never have complete knowledge about the state of the world, and they do not have complete control, as the effects of their actions are uncertain. While most classical planning methods avoid explicit uncertainty reasoning, we believe that uncertainty should be explicitly represented and reasoned about. We develop a probabilistic representation for states and actions, based on belief networks. We define conditional belief nets (CBNs) to capture the probabilistic dependency of the effects of an action upon the state of the world. We also use a CBN to represent the intrinsic relationships among entities in the environment, which persist from state to state. We present a simple projection algorithm to construct the belief network of the state succeeding an action, using the environment CBN model to infer indirect effects. We discuss how the qualitative aspects of belief networks and CBNs make them appropriate for the various stages of the problem solving process, from model construction to the design of planning algorithms., Comment: Appears in Proceedings of the Tenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI1994)

Abstract

The most recent, and highly innovative, proposal for a next, integrated beam experiment in the U.S. Heavy Ion Fusion Virtual National Laboratory (HIF-VNL) is the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment (NDCX). NDCX will develop novel, still unexplored beam manipulation techniques in order to establish the physics limits on compression of heavy ion beams for creating high energy density matter and fusion ignition conditions. As a major advance for the HIF-VNL, NDCX could also provide significant beam pulse energy on target (1011 J/m3). The main components of NDCX are discussed, in particular a new injector concept, the load-and-fire injector, and the neutralized drift compression section. NDCX will compress the beam within neutralizing plasma, therefore significantly extending the transportable beam current into high-intensity regimes not reachable in the absence of background plasma. To validate these essential components experimentally NDCX will be built in several phases, which are described in more detail.
