OPTIC-ER is a reinforcement learning framework designed to improve emergency response in underserved African communities by providing real‑time, adaptive, and equitable dispatch decisions. It employs an attention‑guided actor‑critic architecture with a Context‑Rich State Vector and a Precision Reward Function, trained on high‑fidelity simulations using real data from Rivers State, Nigeria. In tests on 500 unseen incidents, OPTIC-ER reduced response times by over 35% and surpassed the nearest‑facility heuristic’s 62.94% optimal‑selection rate, while also producing infrastructure deficiency maps and equity monitoring dashboards.

MCRL2 is a reinforcement learning framework that enhances microservice scheduling in cloud data centers by integrating multi-resource cross-attention-based representation learning. It introduces MCRL, a representation learning component that captures structured interactions among nodes, resources, and microservices, and couples this with an actor‑critic architecture and a maximum entropy objective. Experiments on real production cluster traces show that MCRL2 outperforms existing baselines in load balancing, scheduling success rate, and average completion time across diverse workloads.

The paper introduces an action‑conditioned Network World Model that learns how a network’s diffusion dynamics evolve under interventions over time. This model can quickly predict the outcomes of actions, enabling a coding agent to design and refine algorithms that select actions to maximize expected performance on complex network tasks. Experiments on eight network tasks and five diffusion models show that the resulting algorithms match or surpass the best existing baselines in 138 of 141 settings while achieving up to 14.5× faster rollouts than traditional Monte Carlo simulation.
