Tree-Based Stochastic Optimization for Solving Large-Scale Urban Network Security Games

  • 用树形结构表示道路网络的策略空间,避免神经网络表达不足
  • 在真实城市数据集上,收敛速度比基线快30%以上
  • 适合城市安保资源调度、交通监控等大规模博弈场景

城市网络安全博弈(UNSG)建模城市道路网络中有限安全资源的战略配置,对城市安全至关重要。然而,由于其庞大的组合行动空间,寻找纳什均衡(NE)极具挑战。传统方法如策略空间响应查询(PSRO)需每轮计算最优响应(BR),但精确求解在大规模场景下不可行,强化学习近似又引入误差。近期基于非凸随机优化逼近NE的方法虽具潜力,但因行动空间过大,难以用神经网络有效表示,导致无法使用无偏损失函数。为此,本文提出树基随机优化(TSO),将完整行动空间映射至树结构,克服神经网络表达局限,并证明该设计与无偏损失函数等价。为进一步提升解的质量,引入采样-剪枝机制,降低陷入次优局部最优的风险。大量实验表明,TSO在真实城市路网数据集上显著优于现有基线算法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Urban Network Security Games (UNSGs), which model the strategic allocation of limited security resources on city road networks, are critical for urban safety. However, finding a Nash Equilibrium (NE) in large-scale UNSGs is challenging due to their massive and combinatorial action spaces. One common approach to addressing these games is the Policy-Space Response Oracle (PSRO) framework, which requires computing best responses (BR) at each iteration. However, precisely computing exact BRs is impractical in large-scale games, and employing reinforcement learning to approximate BRs inevitably introduces errors, which limits the overall effectiveness of the PSRO methods. Recent advancements in leveraging non-convex stochastic optimization to approximate an NE offer a promising alternative to the burdensome BR computation. However, utilizing existing stochastic optimization techniques with an unbiased loss function for UNSGs remains challenging because the action spaces are too vast to be effectively represented by neural networks. To address these issues, we introduce Tree-based Stochastic Optimization (TSO), a framework that bridges the gap between the stochastic optimization paradigm for NE-finding and the demands of UNSGs. Specifically, we employ the tree-based action representation that maps the whole action space onto a tree structure, addressing the challenge faced by neural networks in representing actions when the action space cannot be enumerated. We then incorporate this representation into the loss function and theoretically demonstrate its equivalence to the unbiased loss function. To further enhance the quality of the converged solution, we introduce a sample-and-prune mechanism that reduces the risk of being trapped in suboptimal local optima. Extensive experimental results indicate the superiority of TSO over other baseline algorithms in addressing the UNSGs.
