Principal investigator for the Adaptive Optimization project since 2006.
Multiple patent applications filed, conference/journal papers published, multiple successful adaptive learning systems designed and implemented. The publicly available case studies are in the “technical reports” section of http://research.sun.com/people/vengerov/publications.html.
Intelligent Inference Systems Corp., Sunnyvale, CA Research Scientist
April 2002 – April 2003: Started a new research initiative in applying the ACFRL algorithm and the previously developed multi-agent coordination algorithms to power control in wireless networks. Published several conference papers on this topic. Results demonstrate an improvement by more than a factor of 2 in comparison with the algorithms used in IS-95 and CDMA2000 standards.
April 2002 – April 2003: Wrote a Phase I STTR proposal to the Office of Naval Research and received funding for the topic of “Perception-based co-evolutionary reinforcement learning for UAV sensor allocation.” Developed theoretical algorithms and designed a practical implementation strategy, which demonstrated excellent results in a high-fidelity robotic simulator. Published a conference paper.
October 1998 – April 2002: Wrote a proposal to the NASA Program in Thinking Systems and received multi-year funding for the topic of cooperation and coordination in multi-agent systems. Developed, evaluated, and published new Reinforcement Learning algorithms for dynamic resource allocation among distributed agents operating jointly in complex, uncertain, and nonstationary environments.
Fall 2000: Developed a new algorithm for single-agent learning in noisy dynamic environments with delayed rewards: Actor-Critic Fuzzy Reinforcement Learning (ACFRL). Published a conference and a journal paper with a convergence proof for ACFRL. US patent (number 6,917,925) was granted for the ACFRL algorithm on July 12, 2005.
ChainCast Inc., San Jose, CA
Aug 2000 – Oct 2000: Conducted a survey of techniques for dynamic updating of multicasting trees and suggested a novel approach based on using multi-agent learning.
NASA Ames Research Center, Moffet Field, CA Summer 1998: Designed a framework for multiple agents operating in a complex, uncertain, and nonstationary environment. Agents learn to improve their policies using fuzzy reinforcement learning.
SRI International, Artificial Intelligence Center, Menlo Park, CA
Summer 1998: Developed a methodology for representing a replanning problem in the space of plans as a reinforcement learning problem.
Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. - Proprietory Trading Department, New York, NY
Summer 1996, 1997: Conducted a comprehensive study of time series forecasting models with neural networks. Recommended a hybrid model combining best features of the existing models and implemented it in C++.
Summer 1995: Developed a stock forecasting system based on conventional econometric techniques and implemented it in SAS language. Gained exposure to various proprietary trading models.
Alphatech, Inc., Burlington, MA
Feb 1997 - May 1997: Developed an algorithm for optimal control of macroeconomic systems described by simultaneous-time equations and implemented it in MATLAB.
Arthur Andersen, Inc., Boston, MA
Feb 1996 - May 1996: Developed an internal System Dynamics cashflow model of startup businesses. Gained experience in management level client interactions and in project presentation skills.
Summer 1996: Independently designed a game theoretic bid forecasting system in procurement auctions for a large construction company. The project involved extensive on-site client interactions during model development as well as a final presentation to the top level management.
Property & Portfolio Research, Inc., Boston, MA
Feb 1994 - May 1995: Designed a mortgage portfolio analysis model and implemented it in Visual Basic for Excel. Developed a methodology for grouping real estate time series using cluster and factor analyses in SPSS. Designed an optimal investment strategy for a class of mortgage backed securities based on the efficient frontier characteristics. Gained broad exposure to real estate markets and models.
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. -- Pershing Division, Jersey City, NJ
Summer 1994: Developed a stock forecasting system based on technical analysis and economic indicators. Developed a DJIA trading strategy based on S&P 500 futures and demonstrated its profitability.
MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems, Cambridge, MA
Aug 1993 - May 1994: Developed a trading strategy for US Treasury bonds based on multi-resolution wavelet analysis. Demonstrated its profitability as compared to the conventional moving average models.
