OPTIMIZATION APPARATUS, OPTIMIZATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135394 titled 'OPTIMIZATION APPARATUS, OPTIMIZATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM STORING OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The optimization apparatus described in the abstract aims to improve decision-making processes by selecting correction values, acquiring results of policy executions, calculating estimated losses, updating probability distributions, and determining policies for future rounds based on the updated distributions.

  • Selection unit chooses correction values from convex hulls of a policy set.
  • Acquisition unit gathers results of executing a second policy in a predetermined round.
  • Calculation unit estimates loss vector based on execution results and correction values.
  • Update unit adjusts probability distributions based on estimated values.
  • Determination unit selects policies for the next round using the updated distributions.

Original Abstract Submitted

an optimization apparatus includes: a selection unit that selects, as a correction value, an element having a magnitude equal to or smaller than a predetermined value from among convex hulls of a policy set; an acquisition unit that acquires a result of execution of a second policy executed in a second round, the second round being a round a predetermined round before a first round for executing a first policy that is determined from among the policy set; a calculation unit that calculates an estimated value of a loss vector in the execution of the policy based on the result of the execution and the correction value selected in the second round; an update unit that updates a first probability distribution based on the estimated value; and a determination unit that determines a policy for a next round based on the updated first probability distribution.
