A novel approach to preserving the privacy of sequential decision-making agents is proposed in this paper. By utilizing Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and inverse reinforcement learning (IRL), the authors aim to safeguard the preferences or rewards of an agent from being inferred by observers. This is particularly crucial in domains like wildlife monitoring, where poachers may exploit knowledge of animal locations to disrupt conservation efforts.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
In this paper, researchers tackle a challenging problem: keeping private the preferences or rewards of a sequential decision-making agent when decisions are observable. The authors focus on planning over a sequence of actions in Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), using the reward function as a proxy for the preference structure to be protected.
