Q-Learning → DQN (Torch.js)

If you are migrating from the current tabular approach in src/agent/dqnAgent.ts to a true DQN, start here:

• Replace Q-table with a Q-network (state → Q-values).
• Encode states and index actions consistently.
• Add replay buffer and target network.
• Train with TD targets and MSE loss.
• Schedule ε and LR; persist and evaluate.

See docs/torchjs_dqn_refactor.md for a concise, step-by-step guide.

🤖 Agent Selection (Tabular vs NN)

• Tabular baseline (Q-table):
  • npm start
• DQN neural agent (Torch.js-style over TF.js):
  • npm start -- --agent=nn
  • Useful flags: --episodes, --batchSize, --gamma, --lr, --trainFreq, --targetSync, --replayCap, --epsilonStart, --epsilonMin, --epsilonDecay

Example:

npm start -- \
  --agent=nn \
  --episodes=200 \
  --batchSize=64 \
  --gamma=0.97 \
  --lr=0.0005 \
  --targetSync=500 \
  --replayCap=20000

Notes

• Backend: uses @tensorflow/tfjs by default for portability; consider @tensorflow/tfjs-node for faster training.
• Encoding/Actions: see src/agent/encoding.ts for deterministic feature mapping and the action grid.

🧪 Real Runner Quick Start (Shadow/Pilot)

Run the real-runner skeleton in shadow mode with a strict $30/day cap and peak hours (adapters to be implemented before going live):

npm run run:real -- \
  --mode=shadow \
  --daily-budget-target=30 \
  --peak-hours=18-22 \
  --delta-max=0.10 \
  --lambda-spend=0.25 \
  --lagrange-step=0.05 \
  --canary-list="tiktok:ADSET_ID,instagram:ADSET_ID"

Then review logs and the PoC checklist before enabling --mode=pilot.

🚀 Why Reinforcement Learning for Ad Optimization?

Traditional rule-based ad optimization fails to capture complex, non-linear relationships between:

• Temporal patterns (day/hour performance variations)
• Platform dynamics (TikTok vs Instagram audiences)
• Creative fatigue (performance decay over time)

💻 Usage

Basic Training

import { DQNAgent, AdEnvironmentSimulator, TrainingPipeline } from "./src";

// Initialize components
const agent = new DQNAgent({
  learningRate: 0.001,
  discountFactor: 0.95,
  epsilon: 1.0,
  epsilonDecay: 0.995,
});

const environment = new AdEnvironmentSimulator({
  platforms: ["tiktok", "instagram"],
  initialBudget: 500,
  episodeLength: 24, // hours
});

const pipeline = new TrainingPipeline(agent, environment);

// Train the agent
await pipeline.train({
  episodes: 1000,
  saveInterval: 100,
  logInterval: 10,
});

Advanced Configuration

// Custom reward shaping
const customRewardCalculator = new RewardCalculator({
  profitWeight: 0.7,
  roasWeight: 0.2,
  conversionWeight: 0.1,
  penalizeBudgetOverspend: true,
});

// Multi-objective optimization
const agent = new DQNAgent({
  rewardCalculator: customRewardCalculator,
  actionSpace: {
    budgetRange: [0.5, 2.0],
    platforms: ["tiktok", "instagram", "facebook"],
    creativeTypes: ["lifestyle", "product", "ugc", "discount"],
    ageGroups: ["18-24", "25-34", "35-44", "45+"],
  },
});

// Add custom observers
pipeline.addObserver(new TensorBoardLogger());
pipeline.addObserver(
  new SlackNotifier({
    webhookUrl: process.env.SLACK_WEBHOOK,
    notifyOn: ["episode_complete", "milestone_reached"],
  })
);

Production Deployment

// Load pre-trained model
const agent = new DQNAgent();
await agent.load("./models/production_model.json");

// Set to exploitation mode (no exploration)
agent.setEpsilon(0);

// Run in production with safety constraints
const productionEnv = new AdEnvironmentSimulator({
  mode: "production",
  constraints: {
    maxDailyBudget: 10000,
    minROAS: 1.5,
    maxBudgetChangePercent: 30,
  },
});

// Execute optimizations
const controller = new ProductionController(agent, productionEnv);
await controller.run({
  interval: "1h", // Run every hour
  dryRun: false, // Apply changes to real campaigns
  monitoring: true, // Enable performance monitoring
});

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables (.env)

# Training Configuration

BATCH_SIZE=32
LEARNING_RATE=0.001
DISCOUNT_FACTOR=0.95
EPSILON_START=1.0
EPSILON_DECAY=0.995
EPSILON_MIN=0.01

# Platform Configuration
TIKTOK_API_KEY=mock_key_123
INSTAGRAM_API_KEY=mock_key_456
SHOPIFY_API_KEY=mock_key_789

# Monitoring
ENABLE_TENSORBOARD=true
TENSORBOARD_PORT=6006
LOG_LEVEL=info
METRICS_EXPORT_PATH=./metrics

# Safety Constraints
MAX_DAILY_BUDGET=10000
MIN_ROAS_THRESHOLD=1.0
MAX_BUDGET_CHANGE_PERCENT=50

# Real-world Constraints
# Pricing and costs
TSHIRT_PRICE=29.99           # or PRODUCT_PRICE
PRINTFUL_COGS=15.00          # or COGS_PER_UNIT

# Platform availability
ALLOWED_PLATFORMS=tiktok     # comma-separated: e.g., "tiktok,instagram"
DISABLE_INSTAGRAM=true       # optional convenience flag

# Creative constraints
LOCKED_CREATIVE_TYPE=ugc     # lock to a single creative type

# Budgeting
DAILY_BUDGET_TARGET=30       # shapes hourly spend penalty in reward

These environment variables adjust the simulator to better reflect real operating constraints:

• TSHIRT_PRICE/PRODUCT_PRICE: Revenue per unit sold.
• PRINTFUL_COGS/COGS_PER_UNIT: Cost of goods per unit (used to compute net profit).
• ALLOWED_PLATFORMS or DISABLE_INSTAGRAM: Restrict simulator to platforms you can actually run.
• LOCKED_CREATIVE_TYPE: Force a single creative type when you only have one asset.
• DAILY_BUDGET_TARGET: Sets the hourly cap used for overspend penalties in reward shaping.

🕶️ Shadow-Mode Training (Real Data Scaffolding)

This repo now includes scaffolding to run a shadow-mode loop that composes real TikTok ad spend and Shopify revenue while never writing changes back to platforms.

• Real Shopify data source: src/datasources/shopify.ts (stubbed)
• Real TikTok API adapter: src/platforms/realTikTok.ts (stubbed)
• Real shadow environment: src/environment/realShadow.ts
• Runner: src/run/shadowTraining.ts

Usage:

• Set env vars for constraints and credentials (if wiring real APIs):
  • PRINTFUL_COGS=15, TSHIRT_PRICE=29.99, DAILY_BUDGET_TARGET=30
  • SHOPIFY_API_KEY=..., SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN=...
  • TIKTOK_API_KEY=...
• Run: npm run build && node dist/run/shadowTraining.js --episodes=50

Notes:

• The stubs return zero metrics by default; replace TODOs with real HTTP calls.
• Reward shaping is margin-based ROAS: (revenue - COGS) / adSpend thresholds drive bonuses, not gross ROAS.

🧠 How It Works

1. State Observation

The agent observes the current state of all ad campaigns:

• Temporal context: Day of week, hour of day
• Campaign settings: Budget, targeting, creative
• Performance history: CTR, CVR, ROAS
• Market dynamics: Competition, seasonality

2. Action Selection

Using ε-greedy strategy:

• Exploration (ε): Try random actions to discover new strategies
• Exploitation (1-ε): Choose the best-known action for the current state

3. Environment Interaction

The environment simulates campaign performance:

Action → API Call → Performance Metrics → Reward Signal

4. Learning Update

Q-learning formula:

Q(s,a) ← Q(s,a) + α[r + γ max Q(s',a') - Q(s,a)]

Where:

• Q(s,a): Expected value of action a in state s
• α: Learning rate
• r: Immediate reward
• γ: Discount factor
• s': Next state

5. Experience Replay

Store experiences and learn from random batches:

• Breaks correlation between sequential experiences
• Improves sample efficiency
• Stabilizes learning

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Training not converging

Solution:

• Decrease learning rate: agent.setLearningRate(0.0001)
• Increase exploration: agent.setEpsilon(1.0)
• Check reward normalization

Issue: Out of memory during training

Solution:

• Reduce replay buffer size
• Decrease batch size
• Enable memory profiling: NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"

Issue: Poor performance on specific platform

Solution:

• Platform-specific reward shaping
• Increase training episodes for that platform
• Check platform API simulator accuracy

Debug Mode

# Enable verbose logging
DEBUG=* npm start

# Profile memory usage
npm run profile:memory

# Analyze performance
npm run profile:cpu

Built with ❤️ by the AI Optimization Team
Maximizing profits through intelligent automation

Project Updates (Modularization + Real Runner)

• Modularized codebase with separate modules for agent, environment, platforms, observers, training, and a barrel export in src/index.ts.
• Added simulator improvements (realistic spend/revenue logic, reward shaping, peak-hour boosts).
• Added real runner skeleton: npm run run:real with flags for --mode, --daily-budget-target, --peak-hours, --delta-max, --lambda-spend, --lagrange-step, --canary-list.
• Cost-sensitive objective (λ-spend) to minimize spend while maximizing profit.
• Safety guardrails starter (src/execution/guardrails.ts), to enforce daily cap, delta clamp, peak hours, and freeze conditions.
• Documentation added:
  • docs/api_spec.md
  • docs/real_integration.md
  • docs/low_spend_rollout.md
  • docs/poc_checklist.md
