We consider the problem of detecting anomalies among a given set of processes using their noisy binary sensor measurements. The noiseless sensor measurement corresponding to a normal process is 0, and the measurement is 1 if the process is anomalous. The decision-making algorithm is assumed to have no knowledge of the number of anomalous processes. The algorithm is allowed to choose a subset of the sensors at each time instant until the confidence level on the decision exceeds the desired value. Our objective is to design a sequential sensor selection policy that dynamically determines which processes to observe at each time and when to terminate the detection algorithm. The selection policy is designed such that the anomalous processes are detected with the desired confidence level while incurring minimum cost which comprises the delay in detection and the cost of sensing. We cast this problem as a sequential hypothesis testing problem within the framework of Markov decision processes, and solve it using the actor-critic deep reinforcement learning algorithm. This deep neural network-based algorithm offers a low complexity solution with good detection accuracy. We also study the effect of statistical dependence between the processes on the algorithm performance. Through numerical experiments, we show that our algorithm is able to adapt to any unknown statistical dependence pattern of the processes.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) and its integration with deep learning have achieved impressive performance in various robotic control tasks, ranging from motion planning and navigation to end-to-end visual manipulation. However, stability is not guarant
eed in model-free RL by solely using data. From a control-theoretic perspective, stability is the most important property for any control system, since it is closely related to safety, robustness, and reliability of robotic systems. In this paper, we propose an actor-critic RL framework for control which can guarantee closed-loop stability by employing the classic Lyapunovs method in control theory. First of all, a data-based stability theorem is proposed for stochastic nonlinear systems modeled by Markov decision process. Then we show that the stability condition could be exploited as the critic in the actor-critic RL to learn a controller/policy. At last, the effectiveness of our approach is evaluated on several well-known 3-dimensional robot control tasks and a synthetic biology gene network tracking task in three different popular physics simulation platforms. As an empirical evaluation on the advantage of stability, we show that the learned policies can enable the systems to recover to the equilibrium or way-points when interfered by uncertainties such as system parametric variations and external disturbances to a certain extent.
On error of value function inevitably causes an overestimation phenomenon and has a negative impact on the convergence of the algorithms. To mitigate the negative effects of the approximation error, we propose Error Controlled Actor-critic which ensu
res confining the approximation error in value function. We present an analysis of how the approximation error can hinder the optimization process of actor-critic methods.Then, we derive an upper boundary of the approximation error of Q function approximator and find that the error can be lowered by restricting on the KL-divergence between every two consecutive policies when training the policy. The results of experiments on a range of continuous control tasks demonstrate that the proposed actor-critic algorithm apparently reduces the approximation error and significantly outperforms other model-free RL algorithms.
We develop a parameterized Primal-Dual $pi$ Learning method based on deep neural networks for Markov decision process with large state space and off-policy reinforcement learning. In contrast to the popular Q-learning and actor-critic methods that ar
e based on successive approximations to the nonlinear Bellman equation, our method makes primal-dual updates to the policy and value functions utilizing the fundamental linear Bellman duality. Naive parametrization of the primal-dual $pi$ learning method using deep neural networks would encounter two major challenges: (1) each update requires computing a probability distribution over the state space and is intractable; (2) the iterates are unstable since the parameterized Lagrangian function is no longer linear. We address these challenges by proposing a relaxed Lagrangian formulation with a regularization penalty using the advantage function. We show that the dual policy update step in our method is equivalent to the policy gradient update in the actor-critic method in some special case, while the value updates differ substantially. The main advantage of the primal-dual $pi$ learning method lies in that the value and policy updates are closely coupled together using the Bellman duality and therefore more informative. Experiments on a simple cart-pole problem show that the algorithm significantly outperforms the one-step temporal-difference actor-critic method, which is the most relevant benchmark method to compare with. We believe that the primal-dual updates to the value and policy functions would expedite the learning process. The proposed methods might open a door to more efficient algorithms and sharper theoretical analysis.
In this paper, we introduce a new scheduling algorithm MARS based on a cost-aware multi-scalable reinforcement learning approach, which serves as an intermediate layer between HPC resource manager and user application workflow, MARS ensembles the pre
-generated models from users workflows and decides on the most suitable strategy for optimization. A whole workflow application would be split into several optimized subtasks. Then based on a pre-defined resource management plan. A reward will be generated after executing a scheduled task. Lastly, MARS updates the Deep Neural Network (DNN) model for future use. MARS is designed to be able to optimize the existing models through the reinforcement mechanism. MARS can adapt to the shortage of training samples and optimize the performance by itself, especially through combining the small tasks together or switching between pre-built scheduling strategy such as Backfilling, SJF, etc, then choosing the most suitable approach. We tested MARS using different real-world workflow traces. MARS can achieve between 5%-60% better performance while comparing to the other approaches.
Reinforcement learning in multi-agent scenarios is important for real-world applications but presents challenges beyond those seen in single-agent settings. We present an actor-critic algorithm that trains decentralized policies in multi-agent settin
gs, using centrally computed critics that share an attention mechanism which selects relevant information for each agent at every timestep. This attention mechanism enables more effective and scalable learning in complex multi-agent environments, when compared to recent approaches. Our approach is applicable not only to cooperative settings with shared rewards, but also individualized reward settings, including adversarial settings, as well as settings that do not provide global states, and it makes no assumptions about the action spaces of the agents. As such, it is flexible enough to be applied to most multi-agent learning problems.
