Robust Reinforcement Learning on Graphs for Logistics optimization

Logistics optimization nowadays is becoming one of the hottest areas in the AI community. In the past year, significant advancements in the domain were achieved by representing the problem in a form of graph. Another promising area of research was to apply reinforcement learning algorithms to the above task. In our work, we made advantage of using both approaches and apply reinforcement learning on a graph. To do that, we have analyzed the most recent results in both fields and selected SOTA algorithms both from graph neural networks and reinforcement learning. Then, we combined selected models on the problem of AMOD systems optimization for the transportation network of New York city. Our team compared three algorithms - GAT, Pro-CNN and PTDNet - to bring to the fore the important nodes on a graph representation. Finally, we achieved SOTA results on AMOD systems optimization problem employing PTDNet with GNN and training them in reinforcement fashion.
