2022-03-01 meeting overview

[MichalisPanayides]

What has been done:

• ML course - Week 7 ✔️
• Submit CORS/INFORMS abstract ✔️
• Submit EURO 2022 abstract ✔️
• Paper changes:
  • Change in vocabulary
  • Investigate problem parameters
• RL algorithm
  • Run scripts in siren
  • Run model for a longer period of time
  • Use additional e_parameter value of 0.1

To be discussed:

• [x] EURO - CORS/INFORMS register either way?
• [x] Truncation effects plots
• [x] RL utility plots??

To be done:

• Paper issues
• RL algorithm more utility plots

[MichalisPanayides]

Todo list for next week:

• [ ] Distractions, Risks, Recoveries - Register (EXP1, EXP4, Risk Assessment, Submit)
• [ ] EURO 2022 - Register (EXP1, EXP4, Risk Assessment, Submit)
• [ ] Restructure paper
• Paper - address more issues
  • [x] Merge - change vocabulary PR
  • [x] Truncation effect
    • Get table for each algorithm runtime - Markov, Simulation (Bounded), Simulation (Unbounded)
• RL algorithm
  • [x] Run RL for x5 runtime for all e values
  • [x] Run RL with e = 0.2
  • [x] For e = 0.1:
    • [x] Start from different initial service rates μ = {0.1, 0.5, 1, ... }
      • We want to check if for different μ we get same policies (rates)
    • [x] Check increased/decreased arrival rate produces different results
  • [ ] Plot a 3rd graph with the impact of the server's behaviour on the hospital (waiting/blocking time)
  • [ ] Plot results
• Future things to keep in mind:
  • When service rate at a state is changed, change the surrounding states
