26 Conclusion Conclusion and Future Work Contribution: Formalization of a FOPL that allows to represent interactive beliefs through recursively partitioning the belief simplices. Future Work: Practical implementation of (subset of) the proposed formalism; Extension of existing approaches to interactive beliefs semantics; E.g. BLOG, Markov Logic, Relational Probabilistic Models,... Embed the formalism in a (multi-agent) stochastic planning algorithm Piecewise linearity of value functions in (I-)POMDPs makes the proposed approach promising; Extend approaches like Sanner et al., 2010 (Sanner and Kersting, 2010).
