Solving large-scale planning and deep learning problems by Aung, Aye Phyu Phyu

“…Hence, the primary focus of the research will be on solving problems with large-scale action space as the direct usage of existing small or discrete solutions limits the solution quality and brings less resemblance to the increasingly complex real-life situations. In particular, we approach planning: student counselling problem with large discrete action space and deep learning problem: GAN with continuous action space. …”
