Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this article, we investigate the routing problem of packet networks through multiagent reinforcement learning (RL), which is a very challenging topic in distributed and autonomous networked systems. In specific, the routing problem is modeled as a networked multiagent partially observable Markov decision process (MDP). Since the MDP of a network node is not only affected by its neighboring nodes' policies but also the network traffic demand, it becomes a multitask learning problem. Inspired by recent success of RL and metalearning, we propose two novel model-free multiagent RL algorithms, named multiagent proximal policy optimization (MAPPO) and multiagent metaproximal policy optimization (meta-MAPPO), to optimize the network performances under fixed and time-varying traffic demand, respectively. A practicable distributed implementation framework is designed based on the separability of exploration and exploitation in training MAPPO. Compared with the existing routing optimization policies, our simulation results demonstrate the excellent performances of the proposed algorithms.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
