Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We demonstrate that our method scales to large POMDP domains and provides strong bounds on the performance of the resulting policy. ... We apply our methodology to classical POMDP domains and demonstrate that it can scale to larger environments than previous methods. We empirically verify that the probability of success of the policy is consistent with the upper and lower bounds provided by the solver. Finally, we compare the performance of point-based methods against previous work (Norman, Parker, and Zou 2017).

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code Yes We provide a Julia package for POMDP model checking available at https://github.com/sisl/POMDPModel Checking.jl.
Open Datasets No The paper describes using 'discrete POMDP domains from the literature' but does not provide specific links, DOIs, or formal citations for publicly available datasets used for training or evaluation.
Dataset Splits No The paper evaluates performance through simulation and discusses solver precision, but does not specify explicit training, validation, or test dataset splits for reproducibility of data partitioning, as it primarily deals with simulated environments.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., CPU/GPU models, memory specifications) used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No Our implementation allows the user to easily choose the underlying algorithm among the one available in POMDPs.jl (Egorov et al. 2017) a POMDP planning library.
Experiment Setup Yes The precision of the solver is set to 1 10 2. ... For this domain, the precision of the solver is set to 1 10 3.
