  • Patent number: 11615293
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a decision-making process including actions characterized by stochastic availability, provide an Markov decision process (MDP) model that includes a stochastic action set based on the decision-making process, compute a policy function for the MDP model using a policy gradient based at least in part on a function representing the stochasticity of the stochastic action set, identify a probability distribution for one or more actions available at a time period using the policy function, and select an action for the time period based on the probability distribution.

  • Patent number: 11501207
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a decision-making process that includes an increasing set of actions, compute a policy function for a Markov decision process (MDP) for the decision-making process, wherein the policy function is computed based on a state conditional function mapping states into an embedding space, an inverse dynamics function mapping state transitions into the embedding space, and an action selection function mapping the elements of the embedding space to actions, identify an additional set of actions in the increasing set of actions, update the inverse dynamics function based at least in part on the additional set of actions, update the policy function based on the updated inverse dynamics function and parameters learned during the computing the policy function, and select an action based on the updated policy function.

  • Publication number: 20220121968
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that determine target policy parameters that enable target policies to provide improved future performance, even in circumstances where the underlying environment is non-stationary. For example, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize counter-factual reasoning to estimate what the performance of the target policy would have been if implemented during past episodes of action-selection. Based on the estimates, the disclosed systems forecast a performance of the target policy for one or more future decision episodes. In some implementations, the disclosed systems further determine a performance gradient for the forecasted performance with respect to varying a target policy parameter for the target policy.

  • Publication number: 20200241878
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to generating proposed digital actions in high-dimensional action spaces for client devices utilizing reinforcement learning models. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize a supervised machine learning model to train a latent representation decoder to determine proposed digital actions based on latent representations. Additionally, the disclosed systems can utilize a latent representation policy gradient model to train a state-based latent representation generation policy to generate latent representations based on the current state of client devices. Subsequently, the disclosed systems can identify the current state of a client device and a plurality of available actions, utilize the state-based latent representation generation policy to generate a latent representation based on the current state, and utilize the latent representation decoder to determine a proposed digital action from the plurality of available actions by analyzing the latent representation.
