We consider the problem of decentralized sequential active hypothesis testing (DSAHT), where two transmitting agents, each possessing a private message, are actively helping a third agent--and each other--to learn the message pair over a…

We consider a decision maker who must choose an action in order to maximize a reward function that depends also on an unknown parameter {\Theta}. The decision maker can delay taking the action in order to experiment and gather additional…
