We introduce DeCaFlow, a deconfounding causal generative model. Training once per dataset using just observational data and the underlying causal graph, DeCaFlow enables accurate causal inference on continuous variables under the presence of hidden confounders. Specifically, we extend previous resul…
We study an underwater navigation problem, where an Under-water Autonomous Vehicle must reach a target position in the presence of a disturbance that may be unknown. In order to deal with this problem, we make use of Deep Reinforcement Learning tools, and more concretely, we make use of robust contr…
In this work, we develop an algorithm based on graph networks to train distributedly a deep learning model. We consider that there are several nodes, in an arbitrary network topology, each one of them having access to a local dataset that, for privacy concerns, cannot be shared with other nodes. We…
Multiagent systems where the agents interact among themselves and with an stochastic environment can be formalized as stochastic games. We study a subclass of these games, named Markov potential games (MPGs), that appear often in economic and engineering applications when the agents share some commo…
We extend earlier works on continuous potential games to the most general case: stochastic time varying environment, stochastic rewards, non-reduced form and constrained state-action sets. We provide conditions for a Markov Nash equilibrium (MNE) of the game to be equivalent to the solution of a sin…
We consider the problem of solving a quadratic potential game with single quadratic constraints, under no monotonicity condition of the game, nor convexity in any of the player's problem. We show existence of Nash equilibria (NE) in the game, and propose a framework to calculate Pareto efficient sol…
Optimum scheduling is a key objective in many communications systems where different users have to share a common resource. Typically, centralized implementations are capable of guaranteeing certain fairness. In our approach, we follow a different path modeling the scheduling process as a dynamic in…
We combine model-based methods and distributed stochastic approximation to propose a fully distributed algorithm for nonconvex optimization, with good empirical performance and convergence guarantees. Neither the expression of the objective nor its gradient are known. Instead, the objective is like…
