Spread of Chronic Wasting Disease under Stochastic Environmental Conditions and its Control using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Wei Yin, Wesley J. Marrero, Kamal Jnawali +3
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal prion disease affecting deer, elk, moose, reindeer, muntjac, and other cervids. Because free-ranging cervid populations face environmental…
IGT-OMD: Implicit Gradient Transport for Decision-Focused Learning under Delayed Feedback
Benjamin Amoh, Geoffrey G. Parker, Wesley Marrero
Decision-focused learning trains predictive models end-to-end against downstream decision loss, but online settings suffer delayed feedback: outcomes may not arrive for many enviro…
Multi-Agent Decision-Focused Learning via Value-Aware Sequential Communication
Benjamin Amoh, Geoffrey Parker, Wesley Marrero
Multi-agent coordination under partial observability requires agents to share complementary private information. While recent methods optimize messages for intermediate objectives…
Boosted Distributional Reinforcement Learning: Analysis and Healthcare Applications
Zequn Chen, Wesley J. Marrero
Researchers and practitioners are increasingly considering reinforcement learning to optimize decisions in complex domains like robotics and healthcare. To date, these efforts have…
