RL-PaO: Prediction as Action in Decision Making under Uncertainty
Decision-making under uncertainty often relies on predicted parameters, yet accurate prediction does not necessarily lead to good operational decisions. Aligning prediction with downstream optimization requires learning from the consequences of the decisions those predictions induce. We introduce RL-PaO, a reinforcement learning framework that integrates system formulation, optimization, and decision execution into a single environment. This yields a Markov decision process in which prediction is regarded as action: it shifts the environment to produce subsequent context and reward that explicitly aligns prediction error with realized cost, and learning the optimal policy does not require...
