About this paper

Benedikt Waldeck

The method uses sum-product message passing to plan while learning unknown observation or transition matrices. It copies and freezes parameter priors for each imagined factor, preserving the link between an outcome and its one-step parameter update so information gain can shape choices. In grid tasks, SP-EFE records 300 goals and detour episodes, versus 146 ± 7 goals and no detours for SP-Pref-Plan, showing a task-specific result.
