AGT: Efficient Offline Reinforcement Learning With Advantage‐Guided Transformer

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Offline reinforcement learning (RL) is a paradigm that seeks to train policies directly based on fixed datasets derived from previous interactions with the environment. However, offline RL faces critical challenges in environments characterised by sparse rewards and datasets dominated by suboptimal trajectories.

How important are within‐occupation task changes for wage growth? Evidence from administrative micro data

open access: yesEconomica, EarlyView.
We examine how changes in task content over time condition occupational wage development. Using survey data from Germany, we document substantial heterogeneity in within‐occupation changes in task content. Combining this evidence with administrative data on individual employment outcomes over a 25‐year period, we find important heterogeneity in wage ...

Mechatronics Engineering Education

open access: yes, 2006
Since its emergence in the late 1960s, mechatronics has become well-established as an academic subject, and is now researched and taught at a large number of universities worldwide. The most widely-used definition of the subject today is centered on the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, and intelligent computer control ...

Bridging the implementation gap in MCABC inventory management: from a taxonomy to practical archetypes

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite increasing demands for resilient and sustainable supply chains, inventory management often relies on outdated single‐criterion analyses. While multi‐criteria ABC (MCABC) analyses provide a theoretically mature assessment of resilience‐sustainability‐benefit trade‐offs in inventory, their adoption remains limited due to fragmented ...

An approach to minimize inventory risk due to weather using buyback contract with weather rebate

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper addresses the inventory risk owing to weather fluctuations faced by retail companies and designs a new class of contract incorporating financial risk hedging. The designed contract not only coordinates the supply chain as the buyback contract does but also improves the supply chain profit by considering the inventory risk due to ...

Effects of low‐pressure plasma and ytterbium fiber laser on zirconia surface properties and bond strength to gingiva‐colored composite

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate and compare the effects of surface activation by low‐pressure plasma (LPP) and surface texturing by ytterbium fiber laser (YFL) treatments on zirconia surface properties and shear bond strength (SBS) to a gingiva‐colored indirect composite under aged and non‐aged conditions.
