📣 Six talks from our group and collaborators at the upcoming INFORMS Annual Meeting #INFORMS2024. See you in Seattle!

[Xian Yu @XianYu999]

Our group will be presenting at #INFORMS2023! See you in Phoenix! 🌵

[Xian Yu @XianYu999]

@Mohammad_Zhale Thanks, Pedram! Look forward to catching up with you in the upcoming INFORMS!

Excited to share that we received a National Science Foundation (NSF) award for our "Collaborative Research: SLES: Safe Distributional-Reinforcement Learning-Enabled Systems: Theories, Algorithms, and Experiments". https://t.co/nNmJfVbZuu

[Xian Yu @XianYu999]

I am hiring a Ph.D. student to work on this project, focusing on applying optimization techniques to provide iteration/sample complexities of DRL. Visit my website https://t.co/Hzxi4lCPt2 for more details and reach out to me at [email protected] if you would like to get involved.

[Xian Yu @XianYu999]

How can we guarantee global convergence under DRL and what is the fundamental iteration/sample complexity? We will validate this new framework and algorithms in both high-fidelity simulations and real-world experiments using unmanned aerial vehicles.

@BesteBasciftci @umichioe @OhioState Thanks a lot, Beste!

[Xian Yu @XianYu999]

Happy to share that our work on the global convergence of risk-averse policy gradient methods was accepted in #ICML2023. This is a joint work with Dr. Lei Ying from @UMichECE. Looking forward to presenting this work at @icmlconf from July 25 to July 27!
