Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning with Hierarchical Coordination for Emergency Responder Stationing [PDF]
An emergency responder management (ERM) system dispatches responders, such as ambulances, when it receives requests for medical aid. ERM systems can also proactively reposition responders between predesignated waiting locations to cover any gaps that arise due to the prior dispatch of responders or significant changes in the distribution of anticipated

Stochastic Dynamic Power Dispatch with High Generalization and Few-Shot Adaption via Contextual Meta Graph Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
Reinforcement learning is an emerging approaches to facilitate multi-stage sequential decision-making problems. This paper studies a real-time multi-stage stochastic power dispatch considering multivariate uncertainties. Current researches suffer from low generalization and practicality, that is, the learned dispatch policy can only handle a specific ...
