摘要:

本文提出了一个风险和报酬模糊条件下的分布鲁棒收益-风险马尔可夫决策过程模型。该模型优化了平均和百分位绩效的加权平均值,并将分布鲁棒MDP和分布鲁棒机会约束MDP(均在奖励模糊下)作为特例。通过考虑未知的奖励分布位于Wasserstein模糊集,我们得到了我们的模型的易处理的重新制定。特别是,我们表明,回报风险模型也可以考虑风险从不确定的过渡内核时,只寻求确定性的政策,和一个分布稳健的MDP下的百分位数准则可以重新制定为它的名义上的对应调整后的风险水平。设计了一个可扩展的一阶算法来求解大规模问题,并通过数值实验验证了所提模型和算法的优越性。

英文摘要:

We propose a distributionally robust return-risk model for Markov decision processes (MDPs) under risk and reward ambiguity. The proposed model optimizes the weighted average of mean and percentile performances, and it covers the distributionally robust MDPs and the distributionally robust chance-constrained MDPs (both under reward ambiguity) as special cases. By considering that the unknown reward distribution lies in a Wasserstein ambiguity set, we derive the tractable reformulation for our model. In particular, we show that that the return-risk model can also account for risk from uncertain transition kernel when one only seeks deterministic policies, and that a distributionally robust MDP under the percentile criterion can be reformulated as its nominal counterpart at an adjusted risk level. A scalable first-order algorithm is designed to solve large-scale problems, and we demonstrate the advantages of our proposed model and algorithm through numerical experiments.
