Network-Based Epidemic Control Through Optimal Travel and Quarantine Management
Mahtab Talaei, Apostolos I. Rikos, Alex Olshevsky +2
Motivated by the swift global transmission of infectious diseases, we present a comprehensive framework for network-based epidemic control. Our aim is to curb epidemics using two d…
MDP Geometry, Normalization and Reward Balancing Solvers
Arsenii Mustafin, Aleksei Pakharev, Alex Olshevsky +1
We present a new geometric interpretation of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with a natural normalization procedure that allows us to adjust the value function at each state witho…
On Value Iteration Convergence in Connected MDPs
Arsenii Mustafin, Alex Olshevsky, Ioannis Ch. Paschalidis
This paper establishes that an MDP with a unique optimal policy and ergodic associated transition matrix ensures the convergence of various versions of the Value Iteration algorith…
One-Shot Averaging for Distributed TD() Under Markov Sampling
Haoxing Tian, Ioannis Ch. Paschalidis, Alex Olshevsky
We consider a distributed setup for reinforcement learning, where each agent has a copy of the same Markov Decision Process but transitions are sampled from the corresponding Marko…
