Analysis of Reinforcement Learning for determining task replication in workflows

Andrew Stephen McGough, Matthew Forshaw

Executing workflows on volunteer computing resources where individual tasks may be forced to relinquish their resource for the resource's primary use leads to unpredictability and…

Long-term Reproducibility for Neural Architecture Search

David Towers, Matthew Forshaw, Amir Atapour-Abarghouei +1

It is a sad reflection of modern academia that code is often ignored after publication -- there is no academic 'kudos' for bug fixes / maintenance. Code is often unavailable or, if…

The impact of online machine-learning methods on long-term investment decisions and generator utilization in electricity markets

Alexander J. M. Kell, A. Stephen McGough, Matthew Forshaw

Electricity supply must be matched with demand at all times. This helps reduce the chances of issues such as load frequency control and the chances of electricity blackouts. To gai…

Exploring market power using deep reinforcement learning for intelligent bidding strategies

Alexander J. M. Kell, Matthew Forshaw, A. Stephen McGough

Decentralized electricity markets are often dominated by a small set of generator companies who control the majority of the capacity. In this paper, we explore the effect of the to…
