Deep Q-Networks for Minimizing Total Tardiness on a Single Machine by Kuan Wei Huang, Bertrand M. T. Lin

“…This study introduces a novel approach utilizing DQNs to model the complexities of job scheduling for minimizing tardiness through an informed selection utilizing look-ahead mechanisms of actions within a defined state space. The framework incorporates seven distinct reward-shaping strategies, among which the Minimum Estimated Future Tardiness strategy notably enhances the DQN model’s performance. …”

Low-Resolution Target Detection with High-Frequency Information Preservation by Feng Zhang, Hongyang Bai, Wenlong Yin, Ze Li, Hailong Ma, Lei Chen

“…It is composed of two key components: (1) the decoupled high-frequency learning component, which extracts the high-frequency information along the vertical and horizontal directions separately, and (2) the dilated frequency-aware channel correlation component, which decomposes the input feature map into multiple smaller ones in a dilated manner, concatenates them by channel, and then correlates the combined channels in the frequency space. Our module can generally be integrated into existing network architectures for target detection (e.g., YOLO, HRNet). …”
