  1. Towards Understanding Distributional Reinforcement Learning: Regularization, Optimization, Acceleration and Sinkhorn Algorithm.

    2021 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Distributional reinforcement learning~(RL) is a class of state-of-the-art algorithms that estimate the whole distribution of the total return rather than only its expectation. Despite the remarkable performance of distributional RL, a theoretical understanding of its …

  2. Long bet will lose: demystifying seemingly fair gambling via two-armed Futurity bandit

    2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    No matter how much some gamblers occasionally win, as long as they continue to gamble, sooner or later they will lose more to the casino, which is the so-called long bet will lose. Our results …

  3. DRGCN: Dynamic Evolving Initial Residual for Deep Graph Convolutional Networks

    2023 · Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence

    Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been proved to be very practical to handle various graph-related tasks. It has attracted considerable research interest to study deep GCNs, due to their potential superior performance compared with shallow …
