Gaussian process regression approach to pricing multi-asset American options by Mokone, Christoffel Maboe

“…This dissertation explores the problem of pricing American options in high dimensions using machine learning. In particular, the Gaussian Process Regression Monte Carlo (GPR-MC) algorithm developed by Goudenege et al (2019). is explored, and ` its performance, i.e., its accuracy and efficiency, is benchmarked against the Least Squares Regression Method (LSM) developed by Carriere (1996) and popularised by Longstaff and Schwartz (2001). …”

Energy Efficient Load Balancing in Multi-band Cellular Networks via Reinforcement Learning by El Soukkary, Ahmed Shoukry

“…For UA, a SINR-ratio-based heuristic is proposed to prioritize users that are most sensitive to suboptimal band assignments, and it is benchmarked against a Max- SINR baseline. For PA, the high-band power control problem is addressed using reinforcement learning, where a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) agent learns power levels and band-activation decisions under QoS constraints while accounting for dropped users and load balancing via Jain’s fairness index. …”
