• Abstract: We present a holistic data-driven approach to the problem of productivity increase on the example of a metallurgical pickling line. The proposed approach combines mathematical modeling as a base algorithm and a cooperative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) system implemented such as to enhance the performance by multiple criteria while also meeting safety and reliability requirements and taking into account the unexpected volatility of certain technological processes. We demonstrate how Deep Q-Learning can be applied to a real-life task in a heavy industry, resulting in significant improvement of previously existing automation systems.The problem of input data scarcity is solved by a two-step combination of LSTM and CGAN, which helps to embrace both the tabular representation of the data and its sequential properties. Offline RL training, a necessity in this setting, has become possible through the sophisticated probabilistic kinematic environment.

  One promising approach is to train an RL agent as an improvement, starting with a suboptimal solution that is iteratively improved by applying small changes. We apply this approach to a real-world multiobjective production scheduling problem.

• Distributionally Robust Model-based Reinforcement Learning with Large State Spaces [55.14361269378122]
  Three major challenges in reinforcement learning are the complex dynamical systems with large state spaces, the costly data acquisition processes, and the deviation of real-world dynamics from the training environment deployment. We study distributionally robust Markov decision processes with continuous state spaces under the widely used Kullback-Leibler, chi-square, and total variation uncertainty sets. We propose a model-based approach that utilizes Gaussian Processes and the maximum variance reduction algorithm to efficiently learn multi-output nominal transition dynamics.
