Abstract

Both assistant driving and self-driving have attracted a great amount of attention in the last few years. However, the majority of research efforts focus on safe driving; few research has been conducted on in-vehicle climate control, or assistant driving based on travellers' personal habits or preferences. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for climate control, driver behavior recognition and driving recommendation for better fitting drivers' preferences in their daily driving. The algorithm consists three components: (1) A in-vehicle sensing and context feature enriching compnent with a Internet of Things (IoT) platform for collecting related environment, vehicle-running, and traffic parameters that affect drivers' behaviors. (2) A non-intrusive intelligent driver behaviour and vehicle status detection component, which can automatically label vehicle's status (open windows, turn on air condition, etc.), based on results of applying further feature extraction and machine learning algorithms. (3) A personalized driver habits learning and preference recommendation component for more healthy and comfortable experiences. A prototype using a client-server architecture with an iOS app and an air-quality monitoring sensor has been developed for collecting heterogeneous data and testing our algorithms. Real-world experiments on driving data of 11,370 km (320 hours) by different drivers in multiple cities worldwide have been conducted, which demonstrate the effective and accuracy of our approach.

Online Regularized Statistical Learning in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space With Non-Stationary Data

We study recursive regularized learning algorithms in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) with non-stationary online data streams. We introduce the concept of a random Tikhonov regularization path and decompose the tracking error of the algorithm's output for the regularization path into random difference equations in RKHS. We show that the tracking error vanishes in mean square and almost surely if the regularization path is slowly time-varying. Then, leveraging the monotonicity of inverse operators and the spectral decomposition of compact operators, and introducing the RKHS persistence of excitation condition, we develop a dominated convergence method to prove the mean square and almost sure consistency between the regularization path and the unknown function to be learned. Especially, for independent and non-identically distributed data streams, the mean square and almost sure consistency between the algorithm's output and the unknown function is achieved if the input data's marginal probability measures are slowly time-varying and the average measure over each fixed-length time period is uniformly above a strictly positive finite Borel measure.

Reflective Policy Optimization

On-policy reinforcement learning methods, like Trust Region Policy Optimization (TRPO) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), often demand extensive data per update, leading to sample inefficiency. This paper introduces Reflective Policy Optimization (RPO), a novel on-policy extension that amalgamates past and future state-action information for policy optimization. This approach empowers the agent for introspection, allowing modifications to its actions within the current state. Theoretical analysis confirms that policy performance is monotonically improved and contracts the solution space, consequently expediting the convergence procedure. Empirical results demonstrate RPO's feasibility and efficacy in two reinforcement learning benchmarks, culminating in superior sample efficiency. The source code of this work is available at https://github.com/Edgargan/RPO.

Transductive Off-policy Proximal Policy Optimization

Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) is a popular model-free reinforcement learning algorithm, esteemed for its simplicity and efficacy. However, due to its inherent on-policy nature, its proficiency in harnessing data from disparate policies is constrained. This paper introduces a novel off-policy extension to the original PPO method, christened Transductive Off-policy PPO (ToPPO). Herein, we provide theoretical justification for incorporating off-policy data in PPO training and prudent guidelines for its safe application. Our contribution includes a novel formulation of the policy improvement lower bound for prospective policies derived from off-policy data, accompanied by a computationally efficient mechanism to optimize this bound, underpinned by assurances of monotonic improvement. Comprehensive experimental results across six representative tasks underscore ToPPO's promising performance.
