Deterministic Value-Policy Gradients

no code implementations9 Sep 2019 Qingpeng Cai, Ling Pan, Pingzhong Tang

Based on this theoretical guarantee, we propose a class of the deterministic value gradient algorithm (DVG) with infinite horizon, and different rollout steps of the analytical gradients by the learned model trade off between the variance of the value gradients and the model bias.

Field-aware Calibration: A Simple and Empirically Strong Method for Reliable Probabilistic Predictions

no code implementations26 May 2019 Feiyang Pan, Xiang Ao, Pingzhong Tang, Min Lu, Dapeng Liu, Lei Xiao, Qing He

It is often observed that the probabilistic predictions given by a machine learning model can disagree with averaged actual outcomes on specific subsets of data, which is also known as the issue of miscalibration.

We then apply our framework to a number of multi-item revenue optimal design settings, for a few of which the theoretically optimal mechanisms are unknown.

A Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for Rebalancing Dockless Bike Sharing Systems

no code implementations13 Feb 2018 Ling Pan, Qingpeng Cai, Zhixuan Fang, Pingzhong Tang, Longbo Huang

Different from existing methods that often ignore spatial information and rely heavily on accurate prediction, HRP captures both spatial and temporal dependencies using a divide-and-conquer structure with an embedded localized module.

Optimal Vehicle Dispatching Schemes via Dynamic Pricing

no code implementations6 Jul 2017 Mengjing Chen, Weiran Shen, Pingzhong Tang, Song Zuo

To this end, we use a so-called "ironing" technique to convert the problem into an equivalent convex optimization one via a clean Markov decision process (MDP) formulation, where the states are the driver distributions and the decision variables are the prices for each pair of locations.
