Paper proposes a new framework for predictive optimization without training data.

problem Prediction in a new domain without training samples.
method Proposes a simple framework for predictive optimization with zero-shot domain adaptation.
result Demonstrates the potential usefulness of the proposed framework through numerical experiments.

Domain adaptation is an important open problem in deep reinforcement learning (RL). In many scenarios of interest data is hard to obtain, so agents may learn a source policy in a setting where data is readily available, with the hope that it generalises well to the target domain. We propose a new multi-stage RL agent, …
