48 results for simulation platform

Recent advances in artificial intelligence have been driven by the presence of increasingly realistic and complex simulated environments. However, many of the existing environments provide either unrealistic visuals, inaccurate physics, low task complexity, restricted agent perspective, or a limited capacity for intera…

VegasFlow accelerates complex simulations across various hardware platforms.

problem Complex calculations and simulations requiring high-dimensional integrals.
method Monte Carlo integration techniques using Vegas algorithm and TensorFlow.
result Significantly faster performance on various hardware platforms.

We propose RecSim, a configurable platform for authoring simulation environments for recommender systems (RSs) that naturally supports sequential interaction with users. RecSim allows the creation of new environments that reflect particular aspects of user behavior and item structure at a level of abstraction well-suit…

SHIFT simulates realistic financial markets for research and industry.

problem Creating a realistic simulation platform for financial market research.
method Developed a highly realistic financial market simulator with multiple traders and assets.
result Demonstrated that automated agents can produce price processes similar to real markets.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is widely accepted to hold true under certain assumptions. One of its implications is that the prediction of stock prices at least in the short run cannot outperform the random walk model. Yet, recently many studies stressing the psychological and social dimension of financial beha…

Advances in molecular "omics'" technologies have motivated new methodology for the integration of multiple sources of high-content biomedical data. However, most statistical methods for integrating multiple data matrices only consider data shared vertically (one cohort on multiple platforms) or horizontally (different …

Consider a platform that wants to learn a personalized policy for each user, but the platform faces the risk of a user abandoning the platform if she is dissatisfied with the actions of the platform. For example, a platform is interested in personalizing the number of newsletters it sends, but faces the risk that the u…

New simulation model predicts financial market dynamics with high accuracy.

problem Extreme difficulty in financial market projections due to human behavioural complexity.
method Agent-based modeling with a hierarchical knowledge architecture to simulate diverse human groups.
result Simulator achieves 13.29% deviation in crisis scenarios and lower mean square error under normal conditions.

We demonstrate that models trained only in simulation can be used to solve a manipulation problem of unprecedented complexity on a real robot. This is made possible by two key components: a novel algorithm, which we call automatic domain randomization (ADR) and a robot platform built for machine learning. ADR automatic…

problem Training acoustic models for speech recognition tasks in a federated manner.
method Hierarchical optimization and dynamic gradient aggregation methods.
result Significant improvement in training convergence speed and model performance.

This study benchmarks AI agents for personalized retail promotions using simulations.

problem Optimizing coupon targeting for sparse customer purchase events.
method Comprehensive simulations of customer shopping behaviors; training RL agents on batch data.
result Contextual bandit and deep RL methods outperform static policies in sparse reward environments.

A matching in a two-sided market often incurs an externality: a matched resource may become unavailable to the other side of the market, at least for a while. This is especially an issue in online platforms involving human experts as the expert resources are often scarce. The efficient utilization of experts in these p…
