Golden-Retriever: High-Fidelity Agentic Retrieval Augmented Generation for Industrial Knowledge Base

Zhiyu An, Xianzhong Ding, Yen-Chun Fu, Cheng-Chung Chu, Yan Li, Wan Du

arXiv 2024

We proposed a Large Language Model (LLM) thought process for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that avoids misinterpreting jargons and abbreviations when it is not sure what they mean.

Go Beyond Black-box Policies: Rethinking the Design of Learning Agent for Interpretable and Verifiable HVAC Control
Go Beyond Black-box Policies: Rethinking the Design of Learning Agent for Interpretable and Verifiable HVAC Control

Zhiyu An, Xianzhong Ding, Wan Du

The 61st ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) 2024

We found an efficient way to distill a learned HVAC-controlling policy to a decision tree, thereby enabling engineers to easily verify the safety of policy's decisions and load the policy onto an edge device.

CLUE: Safe Model-Based RL HVAC Control Using Epistemic Uncertainty Estimation

Zhiyu An, Xianzhong Ding, Arya Rathee, Wan Du

ACM International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation (BuildSys) 2023 Best Paper Runner-Up

We designed an energy-saving HVAC scheduling algorithm that improves its decisions using data, and can make conservative decisions when it lacks knowledge about an unfamiliar situation.
