Reinforcement learning approach to control an inverted pendulum: A general framework for educational purposes

Machine learning is often cited as a new paradigm in control theory, but is also often viewed as empirical and less intuitive for students than classical model-based methods. This is particularly the case for reinforcement learning, an approach that does n ...

Optimization and equilibrium problems with discrete choice models

Stefano Bortolomiol

Many transportation markets are characterized by oligopolistic competition. In these markets customers, suppliers and regulators make decisions that are influenced by the preferences and the decisions of all other agents. In particular, capturing and under ...

Decision Learning and Adaptation Over Multi-Task Networks

Ali H. Sayed

This paper studies the operation of multi-agent networks engaged in multi-task decision problems under the paradigm of simultaneous learning and adaptation. Two scenarios are considered:one in which a decision must be taken among multiple states of nature ...

Motivating Innovation: The Effect of Loss Aversion on the Willingness to Persist

Kenneth Younge

We investigate the willingness of individuals to persist at exploration in the face of failure. Prior research suggests that the organization's "tolerance for failure" may motivate greater exploration by the individual. Little is known, however, about how ...

Robust Adaptive Decision Making: Bayesian Optimization and Beyond

Ilija Bogunovic

The central task in many interactive machine learning systems can be formalized as the sequential optimization of a black-box function. Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful model-based framework for \emph{adaptive} experimentation, where the primary go ...

Dynamic Modeling of Trip Completion Rate in Urban Areas with MFD Representations

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Anastasios Kouvelas, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte, Mikhail Murashkin

A large part of the research utilizing the concept of Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) relies heavily on the PL model, an approximation of the trip completion rate derived for steady states. There exists an alternative method to the PL approximation. ...

Acute stress alters individual risk taking in a time-dependent manner and leads to anti-social risk

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Samuel Bendahan, Leyla Loued-Khenissi, Fiona Hollis, John Christian Thoresen, Lorenz Goette

Decision-making processes can be modulated by stress, and the time elapsed from stress induction seems to be a crucial factor in determining the direction of the effects. Although current approaches consider the ﬁrst post-stress hour a uniform period, the ...

Activity choice modeling for pedestrian facilities

Antonin Danalet

This thesis develops models of activity and destination choices in pedestrian facilities from WiFi traces. We adapt the activity-based travel demand analysis of urban mobility to pedestrians and to digital footprints. We are interested in understanding the ...

Improving simulation predictions of wind around buildings using measurements

Didier Vernay

Wind behavior in urban areas is receiving an increasing amount of interest from city planners and architects. In the context of Singapore, knowledge of wind behavior helps to improve building ventilation and, on a larger scale, urban ventilation. Computati ...

An empirical comparison of travel choice models that capture preferences for compromise alternatives

Michel Bierlaire

Compromise alternatives have an intermediate performance on each or most attributes rather than having a poor performance on some attributes and a strong performance on others. The relative popularity of compromise alternatives among decision-makers has be ...
