The task allocation problem in a distributed environment is one of the most challenging problems in a multiagent system. We propose a new task allocation process using deep reinforcement learning that allows cooperating agents to act automatically and learn how to communicate with other neighboring agents to allocate tasks and share resources. Through learning capabilities, agents will be able to reason conveniently, generate an appropriate policy and make a good decision. Our experiments show that it is possible to allocate tasks using deep Q-learning and more importantly show the performance of our distributed task allocation approach.

When crowdsourcing systems are used in combination with machine inference systems in the real world, they benefit the most when the machine system is deeply integrated with the crowd workers. However, if researchers wish to integrate the crowd with "off-the-shelf" machine classifiers, this deep integration is not always possible. This work explores two strategies to increase accuracy and decrease cost under this setting. First, we show that reordering tasks presented to the human can create a significant accuracy improvement. Further, we show that greedily choosing parameters to maximize machine accuracy is sub-optimal, and joint optimization of the combined system improves performance.

The challenge in the widely applicable online matching problem lies in making irrevocable assignments while there is uncertainty about future inputs. Most theoretically-grounded policies are myopic or greedy in nature. In real-world applications where the matching process is repeated on a regular basis, the underlying data distribution can be leveraged for better decision-making. We present an end-to-end Reinforcement Learning framework for deriving better matching policies based on trial-and-error on historical data. We devise a set of neural network architectures, design feature representations, and empirically evaluate them across two online matching problems: Edge-Weighted Online Bipartite Matching and Online Submodular Bipartite Matching. We show that most of the learning approaches perform consistently better than classical baseline algorithms on four synthetic and real-world datasets. On average, our proposed models improve the matching quality by 3--10\% on a variety of synthetic and real-world datasets. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/lyeskhalil/CORL.

The Application of Bipartite Matching in Assignment Problem

deep learning for bipartite assignment problems

The optimized assignment of staff is of great significance for improving the production efficiency of the society. For specific tasks, the key to optimizing staffing is personnel scheduling. The assignment problem is classical in the personnel scheduling. In this paper, we abstract it as an optimal matching model of a bipartite graph and propose the Ultimate Hungarian Algorithm(UHA). By introducing feasible labels, iteratively searching for the augmenting path to get the optimal match(maximum-weight matching). And we compare the algorithm with the traditional brute force method, then conclude that our algorithm has lower time complexity and can solve the problems of maximum-weight matching more effectively.
