Practical Inexact Proximal Quasi-Newton Method with Global Complexity Analysis
Recently several methods were proposed for sparse optimization which make
careful use of second-order information [10, 28, 16, 3] to improve local
convergence rates. These methods construct a composite quadratic approximation
using Hessian information, optimize this approximation using a first-order
method, such as coordinate descent and employ a line search to ensure
sufficient descent. Here we propose a general framework, which includes
slightly modified versions of existing algorithms and also a new algorithm,
which uses limited memory BFGS Hessian approximations, and provide a novel
global convergence rate analysis, which covers methods that solve subproblems
via coordinate descent
ChatGPT is a Potential Zero-Shot Dependency Parser
Pre-trained language models have been widely used in dependency parsing task
and have achieved significant improvements in parser performance. However, it
remains an understudied question whether pre-trained language models can
spontaneously exhibit the ability of dependency parsing without introducing
additional parser structure in the zero-shot scenario. In this paper, we
propose to explore the dependency parsing ability of large language models such
as ChatGPT and conduct linguistic analysis. The experimental results
demonstrate that ChatGPT is a potential zero-shot dependency parser, and the
linguistic analysis also shows some unique preferences in parsing outputs.Comment: 10 page
CoRide: Joint Order Dispatching and Fleet Management for Multi-Scale Ride-Hailing Platforms
How to optimally dispatch orders to vehicles and how to tradeoff between
immediate and future returns are fundamental questions for a typical
ride-hailing platform. We model ride-hailing as a large-scale parallel ranking
problem and study the joint decision-making task of order dispatching and fleet
management in online ride-hailing platforms. This task brings unique challenges
in the following four aspects. First, to facilitate a huge number of vehicles
to act and learn efficiently and robustly, we treat each region cell as an
agent and build a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework. Second, to
coordinate the agents from different regions to achieve long-term benefits, we
leverage the geographical hierarchy of the region grids to perform hierarchical
reinforcement learning. Third, to deal with the heterogeneous and variant
action space for joint order dispatching and fleet management, we design the
action as the ranking weight vector to rank and select the specific order or
the fleet management destination in a unified formulation. Fourth, to achieve
the multi-scale ride-hailing platform, we conduct the decision-making process
in a hierarchical way where a multi-head attention mechanism is utilized to
incorporate the impacts of neighbor agents and capture the key agent in each
scale. The whole novel framework is named as CoRide. Extensive experiments
based on multiple cities real-world data as well as analytic synthetic data
demonstrate that CoRide provides superior performance in terms of platform
revenue and user experience in the task of city-wide hybrid order dispatching
and fleet management over strong baselines.Comment: CIKM 201
