IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification

Published online in 2024 and assigned to the February 2025 journal issue.

How should charging schedules respond when user behavior changes?

OOD Charging adapts an awareness radius using temporal difference errors to balance learned scheduling with a robust baseline. Evaluation on ACN data examines behavioral changes during COVID 19 and the resulting distribution shift.

Counterfactual load forecasting with LLM-structured events and representation learning

Yujie Chen, Yifei Gao, Runyao Yu, Yuhe Wu, Guangyu Wang, Yue Chen, Tongxin Li

NACF turns news into structured treatments and estimates load trajectories under alternative event conditions. Reweighting and representation balancing address observed confounding. Experiments examine factual accuracy and interpretable demand perturbations without claiming that unobserved counterfactual outcomes can be directly validated.

Energy Injection Identification enabled Disaggregation with Deep Multi-Task Learning

Xudong Wang, Guoming Tang, Junyu Xue, Srinivasan Keshav, Tongxin Li, Chris Ding

DualNILM jointly recognizes appliance states and identifies energy injected behind the meter. Its transformer architecture combines temporal learning tasks to separate consumption from injections, with evaluation on measured and synthesized datasets.

Leveraging Machine-Learned Advice in Strategic Interactions with No-Regret Learners

Tinashe Handina, Tongxin Li, Kishan Panaganti, Eric Mazumdar, Adam Wierman

A measure of advice quality connects simulators and payoff predictions to strategic performance. The paper establishes benefits of reliable advice for approximate Stackelberg play and limitations on simultaneously exploiting accurate advice and protecting against inaccurate advice.
