Learning to Run Power Networks: Effective AlphaZero-inspired Topological Control

arXiv:2608. 14114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As the integration of volatile renewable energy sources increases the strain on modern power grids, the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for autonomous topological reconfiguration has emerged as a promising research field to keep strained grids stable and operational.

Space-sampled Value Decay: Forgetting Mechanisms for Non-stationary Deep Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2606. 11797v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Studies on rodents such as mice have shown the capabilities to adapt their behavior when dealing with changing parameters (``drift'') of the environment even if no information about change is provided (uncertainty) -- a behavior that can be modeled by forgetting mechanisms.

Local Guidance, Global Impact: Gaussian-Reshaped Trust Region Unlocks Behavior Transitions

arXiv:2606. 03382v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) demonstrates strong performance in stationary settings, we show that its standard optimization paradigm struggles in continual and non-stationary environments.
