  • Publication number: 20240345547
    Abstract: An operation rule determination device includes: an evaluation function setting unit that sets a second evaluation function that has been altered from a first evaluation function in which a condition relating to operation of a controlled object is reflected, such that a difference in an evaluation function between time steps of evaluation relating to the operation of the controlled object is reduced; and a learning unit that performs learning on an operation rule of the controlled object using the second evaluation function, and performs learning on the operation rule of the controlled object using a learning result and the first evaluation function.

  • Publication number: 20230211498
    Abstract: A state acquisition means acquires a state of a control target at a first time. An action decision means decides on an action at a second time that is a control timing subsequent to the first time such that a value calculated when the state has been input to a pre-trained value function is largest. The value function is trained such that a value related to a sum of rewards based on states of the control target at control timings between the second time and a third time subsequent to the second time is calculated when a process of deciding on an action between the second time and the third time from the state of the control target at the first time and the action at the second time has been iterated.

  • Publication number: 20220156608
    Abstract: An inference device makes an inference in accordance with first-order predicate logic by using: a true or false of a proposition that determines a state of a target by using a predicate that represents the state of the target; and an inference rule where a predicate representing a state of a target in an antecedent differs from a predicate representing a state of a target in a consequent. The predicate representing the state of the target in the antecedent and the predicate representing the state of the target in the consequent represent a proposition that determines a state of a target in a different time step.
