• Abstract: The popularity of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) methods in economics have been exponentially increased. DRL through a wide range of capabilities from reinforcement learning (RL) and deep learning (DL) for handling sophisticated dynamic business environments offers vast opportunities. DRL is characterized by scalability with the potential to be applied to high-dimensional problems in conjunction with noisy and nonlinear patterns of economic data. In this work, we first consider a brief review of DL, RL, and deep RL methods in diverse applications in economics providing an in-depth insight into the state of the art. Furthermore, the architecture of DRL applied to economic applications is investigated in order to highlight the complexity, robustness, accuracy, performance, computational tasks, risk constraints, and profitability. The survey results indicate that DRL can provide better performance and higher accuracy as compared to the traditional algorithms while facing real economic problems at the presence of risk parameters and the ever-increasing uncertainties.

  We propose a framework that enhances PPO algorithms by incorporating a diffusion model to generate high-quality virtual trajectories for offline datasets. Our contributions are threefold: we explore the potential of diffusion models in RL, particularly for offline datasets, extend the application of online RL to offline environments, and experimentally validate the performance improvements of PPO with diffusion models.

  We offer a review of Causal Reinforcement Learning (CRL) works, offer a review of CRL methods, and investigate the potential functionality from causality toward RL. In particular, we divide existing CRL approaches into two categories according to whether their causality-based information is given in advance or not. We analyze each category in terms of the formalization of different models, ranging from the Markov Decision Process (MDP), Partially Observed Markov Decision Process (POMDP), Multi-Arm Bandits (MAB), and Dynamic Treatment Regime (DTR)

• Pessimistic Model Selection for Offline Deep Reinforcement Learning [56.282483586473816]
  Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has demonstrated great potentials in solving sequential decision making problems in many applications. One main barrier is the over-fitting issue that leads to poor generalizability of the policy learned by DRL. We propose a pessimistic model selection (PMS) approach for offline DRL with a theoretical guarantee.

  Black-box nature of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and uncertain deployment-environments of Robotics pose new challenges on its dependability. In this paper, we define a set of dependability properties in temporal logic and construct a Discrete-Time Markov Chain (DTMC) to model the dynamics of risk/failures of a DRL-driven RAS. Our experimental results show that the proposed method is effective as a holistic assessment framework, while uncovers conflicts between the properties that may need trade-offs in the training.

  In real-world tasks, reinforcement learning agents encounter situations that are not present during training time. To ensure reliable performance, the RL agents need to exhibit robustness against worst-case situations. We propose the Robust Hallucinated Upper-Confidence RL (RH-UCRL) algorithm to provably solve this problem.

We build on recent advances in model-based algorithms for offline RL, and extend them to high-dimensional visual observation spaces. Our approach is both tractable in practice and corresponds to maximizing a lower bound of the ELBO in the unknown POMDP.
