  • Publication number: 20230342619
    Abstract: Systems are methods are provided for training an automated agent. The automated agent maintains a reinforcement learning neural network and generates, according to outputs of the reinforcement learning neural network, signals for communicating resource task requests. First and second task data are received. The task data are processed to compute a first performance metric reflective of performance of the automated agent relative to other entities in a first time interval, and a second performance metric reflective of performance of the automated agent relative to other entities in a second time interval. A reward for the reinforcement learning neural network that reflects a difference between the second performance metric and the first performance metric is computed and provided to the reinforcement learning neural network to train the automated agent.
