Memory Bounded Open-Loop Planning in Large POMDPs using Thompson Sampling
State-of-the-art approaches to partially observable planning like POMCP are based on stochastic tree search. While these approaches are computationally efficient, they may still construct search trees of considerable size, which could limit the performance due to restricted memory resources. In this paper, we propose Partially Observable Stacked Thompson Sampling (POSTS), a memory bounded approach to open-loop planning in large POMDPs, which optimizes a fixed size stack of Thompson Sampling bandits. We empirically evaluate POSTS in four large benchmark problems and compare its performance with different tree-based approaches. We show that POSTS achieves competitive performance compared to tree-based open-loop planning and offers a performance-memory tradeoff, making it suitable for partially observable planning with highly restricted computational and memory resources.

Adaptive Thompson Sampling Stacks for Memory Bounded Open-Loop Planning
We propose Stable Yet Memory Bounded Open-Loop (SYMBOL) planning, a general memory bounded approach to partially observable open-loop planning. SYMBOL maintains an adaptive stack of Thompson Sampling bandits, whose size …
Thompson SamplingOpen Loop Execution of Tree-Search Algorithms, extended version
In the context of tree-search stochastic planning algorithms where a generative model is available, we consider on-line planning algorithms building trees in order to recommend an action. We investigate the question of a…

Long-horizon planning is critical for safe autonomous driving in complex scenarios. Existing methods improve planning continuity with temporal memory, but such memory may become invalid and mislead decisions when the dri…
