A Comparative Study of Graph Representations for GNN-Based Power Grid Control in L2RPN

Abstract

Graph construction is a critical but underexamined design choice in deep reinforcement learning for power grid control. We present a controlled experimental comparison of different graph representations, including physical topology, electrical-sensitivity, and hybrid variants for topology control in the Learning to Run a Power Network (L2RPN) environment. Our findings indicate that matching graph complexity to task granularity is more important than maximizing representational richness, and highlight the importance of controlled representation studies at scale.

Deep belief networks are exact

We prove that every strictly positive probability distribution on \(\{-1,1\}^n\) is represented exactly by a sigmoid belief network with finite parameters. This answers a question of Sutskever and Hinton. The proof upgrades their probability-sharing approximation to exact representation using Brouwer's fixed-point theorem.

Stacked conformal prediction

We consider a method for conformalizing a stacked ensemble of predictive models, showing that the potentially simple form of the meta-learner at the top of the stack enables a procedure with manageable computational cost that achieves approximate marginal validity without requiring the use of a separate calibration sample. Empirical results indicate that the method compares favorably to a standard inductive alternative.

Higher Structures in Deep Learning

We provide an expository introduction on the importance of higher-arity tensor operations to deep learning. Then, we conduct a novel empirical investigation of higher-arity phenomenon in trained neural networks, introduce a hypergraphical generalization of the multilayer perceptron, and explore connections to evolutionary algorithms. We conclude with a discussion of promising directions for future research.
