A Comprehensive Survey on Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Connected and Automated Vehicles.

ABSTRACT: Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) require multiple tasks in their seamless maneuverings. Some essential tasks that require simultaneous management and actions are motion planning, traffic prediction, traffic intersection management, etc. A few of them are complex in nature. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) can solve complex problems involving simultaneous controls. Recently, many researchers applied MARL in such applications. However, there is a lack of extensive surveys on the ongoing research to identify the current problems, proposed methods, and future research directions in MARL for CAVs. This paper provides a comprehensive survey on MARL for CAVs. A classification-based paper analysis is performed to identify the current developments and highlight the various existing research directions. Finally, the challenges in current works are discussed, and some potential areas are given for exploration to overcome those challenges. Future readers will benefit from this survey and can apply the ideas and findings in their research to solve complex problems.

Project description:Financial portfolio management (PM) is one of the most applicable problems in reinforcement learning (RL) owing to its sequential decision-making nature. However, existing RL-based approaches rarely focus on scalability or reusability to adapt to the ever-changing markets. These approaches are rigid and unscalable to accommodate the varying number of assets of portfolios and increasing need for heterogeneous data input. Also, RL agents in the existing systems are ad-hoc trained and hardly reusable for different portfolios. To confront the above problems, a modular design is desired for the systems to be compatible with reusable asset-dedicated agents. In this paper, we propose a multi-agent RL-based system for PM (MSPM). MSPM involves two types of asynchronously-updated modules: Evolving Agent Module (EAM) and Strategic Agent Module (SAM). An EAM is an information-generating module with a Deep Q-network (DQN) agent, and it receives heterogeneous data and generates signal-comprised information for a particular asset. An SAM is a decision-making module with a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) agent for portfolio optimization, and it connects to multiple EAMs to reallocate the corresponding assets in a financial portfolio. Once been trained, EAMs can be connected to any SAM at will, like assembling LEGO blocks. With its modularized architecture, the multi-step condensation of volatile market information, and the reusable design of EAM, MSPM simultaneously addresses the two challenges in RL-based PM: scalability and reusability. Experiments on 8-year U.S. stock market data prove the effectiveness of MSPM in profit accumulation by its outperformance over five different baselines in terms of accumulated rate of return (ARR), daily rate of return (DRR), and Sortino ratio (SR). MSPM improves ARR by at least 186.5% compared to constant rebalanced portfolio (CRP), a widely-used PM strategy. To validate the indispensability of EAM, we back-test and compare MSPMs on four different portfolios. EAM-enabled MSPMs improve ARR by at least 1341.8% compared to EAM-disabled MSPMs.

Project description:BackgroundThe identification of the electrical stimulation parameters for neuromodulation is a subject-specific and time-consuming procedure that presently mostly relies on the expertise of the user (e.g., clinician, experimenter, bioengineer). Since the parameters of stimulation change over time (due to displacement of electrodes, skin status, etc.), patients undergo recurrent, long calibration sessions, along with visits to the clinics, which are inefficient and expensive. To address this issue, we developed an automatized calibration system based on reinforcement learning (RL) allowing for accurate and efficient identification of the peripheral nerve stimulation parameters for somatosensory neuroprostheses.MethodsWe developed an RL algorithm to automatically select neurostimulation parameters for restoring sensory feedback with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). First, the algorithm was trained offline on a dataset comprising 49 subjects. Then, the neurostimulation was then integrated with a graphical user interface (GUI) to create an intuitive AI-based mapping platform enabling the user to autonomously perform the sensation characterization procedure. We assessed the algorithm against the performance of both experienced and naïve and of a brute force algorithm (BFA), on 15 nerves from five subjects. Then, we validated the AI-based platform on six neuropathic nerves affected by distal sensory loss.ResultsOur automatized approach demonstrated the ability to find the optimal values of neurostimulation achieving reliable and comfortable elicited sensations. When compared to alternatives, RL outperformed the naïve and BFA, significantly decreasing the time for mapping and the number of delivered stimulation trains, while improving the overall quality. Furthermore, the RL algorithm showed performance comparable to trained experimenters. Finally, we exploited it successfully for eliciting sensory feedback in neuropathic patients.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that the AI-based platform based on a RL algorithm can automatically and efficiently calibrate parameters for somatosensory nerve stimulation. This holds promise to avoid experts' employment in similar scenarios, thanks to the merging between AI and neurotech. Our RL algorithm has the potential to be used in other neuromodulation fields requiring a mapping process of the stimulation parameters.Trial registrationClinicalTrial.gov (Identifier: NCT04217005).
