Towards Continuous Power Forecasting: Practical Continual Learning for Real-World Energy Systems in Nonstationary Time Series

arXiv:2606. 24955v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Power forecasting models deployed in real-world energy markets must operate under nonstationary conditions, where data distributions continually evolve due to weather variability, infrastructure upgrades, and changing consumption behaviors.

Proximal Residual Value Functions for Consistent Planning and Real-Time Execution

The paper introduces proximal residual value functions for two‑timescale decision systems, where a planning layer supplies a continuation‑value function to a real‑time optimizer that allocates resources, with inventory placement as a motivating example. The authors propose an end‑to‑end reinforcement learning method that learns a convex residual added to a strictly convex potential, enabling well‑posed optimization and end‑to‑end differentiation while maintaining an explicit convex objective for real‑time execution. They also provide necessary and sufficient conditions for smooth value functions to produce decisions consistent across planning and execution timescales, and demonstrate a 5.0% reduction in routing and transfer cost in an offline simulation using data from a large e‑commerce retailer.

Inter-Stop Energy Prediction and Causal Driver Quantification for Dual-Source Trolleybuses via a Time-Aware Tabular Deep Learning Architecture

arXiv:2607. 11349v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dual-source trolleybuses alternate between overhead catenary supply and on-board battery operation, creating energy-use patterns driven by route attributes, high-frequency trajectories, and hourly weather.

Deep Learning for Sequential Decision Making under Uncertainty: Foundations, Frameworks, and Frontiers

The tutorial titled "Deep Learning for Sequential Decision Making under Uncertainty: Foundations, Frameworks, and Frontiers" explores how modern deep learning techniques—such as neural networks, transformers, large language models, and deep reinforcement learning—can be integrated with operations research and management science to address complex, uncertain, and dynamic decision problems. It argues that deep learning should complement, not replace, optimization, offering adaptability and scalable approximation while OR/MS provides rigorous constraint and uncertainty modeling. The tutorial organizes the field around predict‑then‑optimize, decision‑aware learning, constraint‑aware decision generation, and deep reinforcement learning, and highlights applications across supply chains, healthcare, energy, and autonomous systems.

Inter-Stop Energy Prediction and Causal Driver Quantification for Dual-Source Trolleybuses via a Time-Aware Tabular Deep Learning Architecture

Dual-source trolleybuses alternate between overhead catenary supply and on-board battery operation, creating energy-use patterns driven by route attributes, high-frequency trajectories, and hourly weather. Existing models struggle to represent these heterogeneous inputs and rarely explain the causal drivers of consumption.
