报告摘要:
The recently advancements in artificial intelligence, especially the mastering of the Go game from Google AlphaGo/AlphaGo Zero, has witnessed tremendous excitements worldwide from academia, industry, and government. This impressive progress not only demonstrated the power of machine learning over complicated tasks, but also provided the opportunity of artificial intelligence to play a critical role in a wide range of applications.
This talk aims to discuss the recent research developments in integrated learning and control based on reinforcement learning (RL), one of the core foundations that AlphaGo/AlphaGo Zero was develop upon. Specifically, I will introduce a new RL and adaptive dynamic programing (ADP) framework for improved decision-making capability, and further explore their wide applications in cyber physical systems (CPS) across different domains. This framework integrates a hierarchical goal generator network to provide the system a more informative and detailed internal goal representation to guide its decision-making. Compared to the existing methods with a manual or “hand-crafted” reinforcement signal design, this framework can automatically and adaptively develop the internal goal representation over time. Under this framework, I will present numerous applications ranging from smart grid control to human-robot interaction to demonstrate its broader and far-reaching applications in CPS. As a multi-disciplinary research area, I will also discuss the future research challenges and opportunities in this field.
