A Comparative Study of Model Predictive Control and Deep Reinforcement Learning for Distributed Traffic Signal Control

This paper presents a comparative study of two distributed traffic signal control approaches: a cell-transmission-model-based model predictive control (MPC) method and a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) method based on latent spatio-temporal network (LST-Net). In the MPC method, each intersection predicts local traffi...

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of the Dry Sliding Wear Behaviour of Al2O3-Al6061 Metal Matrix Composites

This study investigated the dry sliding wear behaviour of Al2O3 particulates (2–6 wt.%) in Al6061 metal matrix composites produced by ultrasonic stir casting, examining mechanical and tribological behaviour. We modelled wear rate using machine learning. Optical studies confirmed uniform Al2O3 particle dispersion, minim...

Modeling decision dynamics disentangles working memory, cognitive control and reinforcement learning and reveals clinical differences

Various neurocognitive processes contribute to reinforcement learning (RL) and decision making, requiring careful task designs and computational modeling to disentangle them. People rely on capacity-limited working memory (WM) to rapidly and flexibly adapt behavior during learning, together with slower incremental RL p...

Performance Analysis for Leveraging AI to Reduce Energy Consumption of a Data Center: A Safe Deep Reinforcement Learning and Workload-Aware Framework

Abstract Electricity demand from data centers is rising quickly with the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI), and cooling remains the largest non-IT load, particularly in hot-arid climates. This paper presents a performance analysis of leveraging AI to reduce the energy consumption of a 10 MW AI/cloud data cente...

Rectifying market externalities via AI policymaking

Abstract Traditional competitive markets do not account for negative externalities; indirect costs that some participants impose on others, such as the cost of over-appropriating a common-pool resource (which diminishes future stock, and thus harvest, for everyone). Quantifying appropriate interventions to market price...

Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses

Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
