Researchers have developed a new algorithm called Continual Deep Q-Network Expansion (CDE) to address the stability-plasticity dilemma in adaptive train scheduling. This problem involves balancing the preservation of previously acquired knowledge with the adaptation to new information in dynamic environments. CDE utilizes curriculum learning with adjacent skills and dynamically adjusts Q-function subspaces to manage environmental changes and task requirements. The algorithm mitigates catastrophic forgetting using EWC while maintaining plasticity with adaptive rational activation functions, showing significant improvements over existing reinforcement learning baselines.
