Mobile notification systems play a major role in a variety of applications to communicate, send alerts and reminders to the users to inform them about news, events or messages. In this paper, we formulate the near-real-time notification decision problem as a Markov Decision Process where we optimize for multiple objectives in the rewards. We propose an end-to-end offline reinforcement learning framework to optimize sequential notification decisions. We address the challenge of offline learning using a Double Deep Q-network method based on Conservative Q-learning that mitigates the distributional shift problem and Q-value overestimation. We illustrate our fully-deployed system and demonstrate the performance and benefits of the proposed approach through both offline and online experiments.

This paper proposes an original statistical decision theory to accomplish a multi-speaker recognition task in cocktail party problem. This theory relies on an assumption that the varied frequencies of speakers obey Gaussian distribution and the relationship of their voiceprints can be represented by Euclidean distance vectors. This paper uses Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients to extract the feature of a voice in judging whether a speaker is included in a multi-speaker environment and distinguish who the speaker should be. Finally, a thirteen-dimension constellation drawing is established by mapping from Manhattan distances of speakers in order to take a thorough consideration about gross influential factors.
