- Abstract: Energy disaggregation, also known as non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM),
challenges the problem of separating the whole-home electricity usage into
appliance-specific individual consumptions, which is a typical application of
data analysis. {NILM aims to help households understand how the energy is used
and consequently tell them how to effectively manage the energy, thus allowing
energy efficiency which is considered as one of the twin pillars of sustainable
energy policy (i.e., energy efficiency and renewable energy).} Although NILM is
unidentifiable, it is widely believed that the NILM problem can be addressed by
data science. Most of the existing approaches address the energy disaggregation
problem by conventional techniques such as sparse coding, non-negative matrix
factorization, and hidden Markov model. Recent advances reveal that deep neural
networks (DNNs) can get favorable performance for NILM since DNNs can
inherently learn the discriminative signatures of the different appliances. In
this paper, we propose a novel method named adversarial energy disaggregation
(AED) based on DNNs. We introduce the idea of adversarial learning into NILM,
which is new for the energy disaggregation task. Our method trains a generator
and multiple discriminators via an adversarial fashion. The proposed method not
only learns shard representations for different appliances, but captures the
specific multimode structures of each appliance. Extensive experiments on
real-world datasets verify that our method can achieve new state-of-the-art
performance.

Consider learning a policy purely on the basis of demonstrated behavior -- that is, with no access to reinforcement signals, no knowledge of transition dynamics, and no further interaction with the environment.
One solution is simply to retrofit existing algorithms for apprenticeship learning to work in the offline setting.
But such an approach leans heavily on off-policy evaluation or offline model estimation, and can be indirect and inefficient.
We argue that a good solution should be able to explicitly parameterize a policy, implicitly learn from rollout dynamics, and operate in an entirely offline fashion.
