  • Publication number: 20240160943
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for solving and applying a multi-agent decision process. A system performs a process, where at each iterative step, the system determines policies for a plurality of agents that optimize respective reward values based on the plurality of costs, and the characteristics of the plurality of agents. The system simulates the multi-agent decision process using the determined policies, thereby generating respective reward values and aggregated resource contribution values. The system increments or decrements the plurality of costs based on the constraints and the aggregated resource contribution values. The system updates a final reward value based on the respective reward values. The system updates a final plurality of costs based on the plurality of costs. After performing the iterative step for a predetermined number of iterations, the system outputs the final reward value and the final plurality of costs.

  • Publication number: 20240119308
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a method for predicting agent actions for neural network based agents according to an intervention. The method includes obtaining a first agent action at a first time step and a first intervention generated according to an intervention policy. The method also includes generating, by the neural network based agent model, a predicted agent action conditioned on the first agent action and the first intervention. The method also includes generating, by a neural network based intervention model, a second intervention according to the intervention policy and conditioned on the first agent action, the first intervention, and the predicted agent action. The method further includes executing a second agent action according to an agent policy that incurs a reward based on the second intervention. The method further includes training the neural network based intervention model by updating parameters of the neural network based intervention model based on an expected return.

  • Publication number: 20230385738
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides computer-implemented systems, platforms and methods that support decisions related to investments in infrastructure and other assets intended to promote economic development. A geographical region is selected. Historical observations taken over a predefined timeframe associated with image and survey data for the geographical region are received. The historical observations are stored. A first categorical model is generated. The first categorical model has a first geospatial dataset related to one of economic, agricultural and infrastructure information based on the historical observations. A navigation map is generated that displays the first categorical model across the geographical region. An existing market summary is generated that reflects first statistics related to existing markets. A proposed market summary is generated that reflects second statistics related to proposed future markets in regions of interest.

  • Patent number: 10992156
    Abstract: A method of probing a multidimensional parameter space of battery cell test protocols is provided that includes defining a parameter space for a plurality of battery cells under test, discretizing the parameter space, collecting a preliminary set of cells being cycled to failure for sampling policies from across the parameter space and include multiple repetitions of the policy, specifying resource hyperparameters, parameter space hyperparameters, and algorithm hyperparameters, selecting a random subset of charging policies, testing the random subset of charging policies until a number of cycles required for early prediction of battery lifetime is achieved, inputting cycle data for early prediction into an early prediction algorithm to obtain early predictions, inputting the early predictions into an optimal experimental design (OED) algorithm to obtain recommendations for running at least one next test, running the recommended tests by repeating from the random subset testing step above, and validating final
