arXiv:2510. 20748v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper demonstrates how reinforcement learning can explain two puzzling empirical patterns in household consumption behavior during economic downturns.
arXiv:2607. 03176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding how households consume electricity in response to socioeconomic and climatic drivers is important for decision-makers designing energy policies in a changing climate and under geopolitical tensions.
arXiv:2607. 28916v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multistep credit assignment is critical for sample-efficient reinforcement learning, yet managing off-policy bias in Q-learning remains a fundamental challenge.
arXiv:2607. 16168v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residential short-term load forecasting (STLF) is challenging because household demand is heterogeneous, temporally variable, and shaped by diverse behavioural routines.
arXiv:2603. 24705v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Discrete choice models are fundamental tools in management science, economics, and marketing for understanding and predicting decision-making.
arXiv:2607. 06121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we investigate whether a model-free RL agent can identify and exploit price manipulation opportunities more effectively than a traditional model-based approach that assumes correct specification of the data-generating process but relies on noisy parameter estimates.
arXiv:2606. 10448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The financial market is a typical low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) setting, which often destabilizes off-policy maximum-entropy methods like Soft Actor-Critic (SAC).
arXiv:2606. 04562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Purpose The WHO's COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.
arXiv:2608. 07228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When a reinforcement learning agent cannot observe the full state, we usually blame its policies: it cannot see enough to represent a good one.
arXiv:2411. 01302v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the convergence of $q$-learning and related algorithms introduced by Jia and Zhou (J.
arXiv:2606. 02049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The increasing integration of renewable energy sources into power systems, particularly in buildings equipped with photovoltaic (PV) panels and energy storage systems, introduces significant complexity in energy systems.
arXiv:2607. 19389v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI-driven Decision Makers (ADMs) influence our socioeconomic reality, their roles in both enhancing efficiency and amplifying the social biases have drawn attention.
arXiv:2607. 23434v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unexpected shocks recur in global operations, requiring decision rules that adapt as market and operating conditions change.
