The paper introduces Solver-Gradient Guided Reinforcement Learning (SG‑RL), a method that augments standard RL with bounded gradients from a differentiable MPC solver to adapt cost‑function weights online. SG‑RL integrates solver‑gradient guidance into PPO through actor‑update scaling, policy loss, advantage estimation, and value‑function learning, achieving comparable or superior closed‑loop performance while requiring up to 70.6% fewer samples. Experiments on two autonomous racing platforms with intentional model mismatch demonstrate that SG‑RL outperforms both RL and gradient‑based policy learning baselines and generalizes zero‑shot to unseen environments.

The paper introduces a stability‑aware autoscaling framework for edge serverless workloads that combines an Attention‑Enhanced Double‑Stacked LSTM with Proximal Policy Optimization to address temporal blindness in deep reinforcement learning. By weighting recent historical states non‑uniformly, the method suppresses high‑frequency jitter while preserving demand trends, outperforming single‑layer LSTM, static HPA, and KEDA baselines in latency reduction and stability. Experiments on two Kubernetes clusters with real Azure Functions traces show a ~67% reduction in P90 latency and improved adherence to a 50 ms hard SLO.

arXiv:2608. 06025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In simulation-in-the-loop decision-making systems, reinforcement learning (RL) inference is often constrained by simulator-side execution overhead, where workloads are highly dynamic and sensitive to runtime thread configurations.

arXiv:2607. 13389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement Learning (RL) post-training is increasingly used to adapt foundation models for reasoning, planning, and feedback-driven robot-learning pipelines, but constrained post-training resources are often summarized by a single total FLOP budget.
