Episode: [MINI] Partially Observable State Spaces
Description: When dealing with dynamic systems that are potentially undergoing constant change, its helpful to describe what "state" they are in. Â In many applications the manner in which the state changes from one to another is not completely predictable, thus, there is uncertainty over how it transitions from state to state. Â Further, in many applications, one cannot directly observe the true state, and thus we describe such situations as partially observable state spaces. Â This episode explores what this means and why it is important in the context of chess, poker, and the mood of Yoshi the lilac crowned amazon parrot.
