abstract = {Data centers are key components of cloud computing to run virtual machines. For saving the cost to operate data centers, it is important to decide how to allocate each virtual machine to a certain physical machine. Because the virtual machine placement problem is NP-Hard, there are many heuristics to obtain near-optimal solutions as quickly as possible. The reinforcement learning technique can be applied for virtual machine placement problem. However, if the problem size gets bigger, the convergence speed of reinforcement learning gets slower. The possible solution is that the agent imitates the behavior of given demonstration, called imitation learning. In this paper, we propose a method combining reinforcement learning with imitation learning. In our proposed approach, demonstration data is generated by simple heuristics not human experts.},
