The paper presents a deep reinforcement learning framework that explicitly incorporates uncertainty quantification for risk and anomaly identification in distribution network operation. It combines distributional and Bayesian DRL to separate total uncertainty into aleatoric (inherent risk) and epistemic (out‑of‑distribution anomalies) components. The epistemic estimates guide exploration during training and enable anomaly detection with fallback control during deployment, while aleatoric estimates assess intrinsic operational risk.
arXiv:2606. 10359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents in supply chains face a fundamental epistemic gap: large language models (LLMs) interpret policies but lack physical grounding, while reinforcement learning (RL) optimizes flows but is semantically blind to unstructured constraints.

arXiv:2603. 10938v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Safe Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) typically enforces safety through expected cost constraints, but the expectation captures only a single statistic of the cost distribution and fails to account for distributional uncertainty, particularly under heavy tails or rare catastrophic events.
