Traffic signal control aims to coordinate traffic signals across intersections to improve the traffic efficiency of a district or a city. Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has been applied to traffic signal control recently and demonstrated…

A self-learning approach for optimal feedback gains for finite-horizon nonlinear continuous time control systems is proposed and analysed. It relies on parameter dependent approximations to the optimal value function obtained from a family…

Applying reinforcement learning to autonomous driving entails particular challenges, primarily due to dynamically changing traffic flows. To address such challenges, it is necessary to quickly determine response strategies to the changing…

We propose a hybrid reinforcement learning (RL) and model predictive control (MPC) framework for mixed-integer optimal control, where discrete variables enter the cost and dynamics but not the constraints. Existing hierarchical approaches…

We consider a stochastic lost-sales inventory control system with a lead time $L$ over a planning horizon $T$. Supply is uncertain, and is a function of the order quantity (due to random yield/capacity, etc). We aim to minimize the…

Vision Transformers (ViTs) have computational costs scaling quadratically with the number of tokens, calling for effective token pruning policies. Most existing policies are handcrafted, lacking adaptivity to varying inputs. Moreover, they…

Solving complex, long-horizon robotic manipulation tasks requires a deep understanding of physical interactions, reasoning about their long-term consequences, and precise high-level planning. Vision-Language Models (VLMs) offer a general…

This paper studies finite-horizon robust tracking control for discrete-time linear systems, based on input-output data. We leverage behavioral theory to represent system trajectories through a set of noiseless historical data, instead of…

We describe a convex programming approach to the calculation of lower bounds on the minimum cost of constrained decentralized control problems with nonclassical information structures. The class of problems we consider entail the…

Vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown strong potential for generalist robot manipulation, yet they remain limited by insufficient spatial reasoning, particularly in determining where to interact in complex visual scenes. While…

Classical value iteration approaches are not applicable to environments with continuous states and actions. For such environments, the states and actions are usually discretized, which leads to an exponential increase in computational…

This paper addresses two minimum reaching time control problems within the context of finite stable systems. The well-known Variable Structure Control (VSC) and Unity Vector Control (UVC) strategies are analyzed, with the primary objective…

The paper present a novel approach for the solution of the Multi-Robot Communication-Aware Trajectory Planning, which builds on a general optimisation framework where the changes in robots positions are used as decision variable, and linear…

We consider the parametric learning problem, where the objective of the learner is determined by a parametric loss function. Employing empirical risk minimization with possibly regularization, the inferred parameter vector will be biased…

Although well-established in general reinforcement learning (RL), value-based methods are rarely explored in constrained RL (CRL) for their incapability of finding policies that can randomize among multiple actions. To apply value-based…

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become the de facto standard practice for sequential decision-making problems by improving future acting policies with feedback. However, RL algorithms may require extensive trial-and-error interactions to…

In this article, we consider the problem of unconstrained time-varying convex optimization, where the cost function changes with time. We provide an in-depth technical analysis of the problem and argue why freezing the cost at each time…

Maximum inner product search (MIPS) is a crucial subroutine in machine learning, requiring the identification of key vectors that align best with a given query. We propose amortized MIPS: a learning-based approach that trains neural…
