Many sequential decision making problems require an agent to balance exploration and exploitation to maximise long-term reward. Existing policies that address this tradeoff typically have parameters that are set a priori to control the amount of exploration. In finite-time problems, the optimal values of these parameters are highly dependent on the problem faced. In this paper, we propose adapting...
The growing use of intelligent agents in virtual realities calls for agents that can interact with users in a fluent and believable way. Intelligent agents are expected to react in an increasingly human like manner, showing distinct characteristics and to express emotion. Which calls for increasingly larger datasets for the agents to make informed and plausible decisions. Intelligent agents need to...
This paper develops a novel fuzzy reinforcement learning (RL) based controller for multiagent partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) modeled as a sequence of Bayesian games. Multiagent POMDPs have emerged as a powerful framework for modeling and optimizing multiagent sequential decision making problems under uncertainty, but finding optimal policies is computationally very challenging...
This paper uses game theory to analyze the behavior of collaboration knowledge creation in a typical two-tier supply chain under centralized decision-making condition and decentralized decision-making condition. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss how to establish the optimizing coordination mechanism of collaboration knowledge creation in supply chain so as to increase the efficiency of...
Inner Mongolia, northern China's resource-based regions, is a large province of power output. State Grid Corporation plans to construct special high-voltage transmission channels for the Autonomous Region Electric Power Delivery in Inner Mongolia. As the monopoly of power industry, the output cross-power energy trading in Inner Mongolia mainly have two ways: Point on the network and the network of...
For most biotech start-ups' financing, the fundraising from the venture capital and capital market is not enough. Strategic partnership with the big pharmaceutical or biotech companies is also necessary. At the uncertain projects in the biopharmaceuticals, the flexibility of decision making is valuable against irreversibility. On the other hand, the strategic flexibility tends to become the trade-off...
Competition for users on a global market is fierce, forcing enterprises to provide for better, faster services while offering the same more cheaply. At the same time, users choose to remain oblivious of the infrastructure behind the service - only demanding that it works. This work presents a policy-based revenue management system for computing clouds. Due to the novelty of the market Cloud providers...
Nowadays, decision support plays important role in decision-making, mistaken in decision-making be able to lose the competition. Decision-making is very complicated especially when the problem is in multiobjective problem. To learn decision making through play a game is an interesting thing. Player plays a game but actually, he or she learns about how to make a decision. In this research, the objective...
This paper analyze the uncertainty impact factors and asymmetric information in the two private equity investment decision-making stages. Attributed the private equity candidate firms' select to fuzzy optimal assessment. Build a risk-weight fuzzy optimal return model to assess the candidate firms. Get the optimal solution set. Boils down the private equity investment game to incomplete and dynamic...
In this paper we study only partial retailers to share information in a supply chain with retail and e-tail channels, which is composed of one manufacture and two retailers. To achieve maximum profits of manufacture, an incentive model is designed to motivate retailer information sharing by a price discrimination strategy in supply chain. Manufacture and retailerspsila optimization decision and profits...
Coordination issue becomes one of the main concerns of research on supply chains. The supply chain model is established involving a retailer with two alternative decision-making criteria: expected profit maximization and probability maximization of target profit. The interactive dynamics under two contracts: wholesale pricing and two-part tariff pricing, is characterized such that the equilibrium...
When a paid price discount activity occurs, the decision-maker must decide whether or not and when to pay the additional fees for preferential price in an online fashion. This problem which generalizes the basic leasing problem has been introduced and studied by Fleischer et al. In this paper, we extend the basic model to consider different price discount replacement case and present the optimal deterministic...
Nash equilibrium is an important decision-making result for all players in non-cooperation game. In existed Nash equilibrium model, the cooperation relationship between the generation groups is not taken into account. Thus, in this paper, the non-inferior Nash equilibrium model of power spot market considering the power network constraints is proposed, in order to effectively describe the characteristics...
