In this episode of the Data Exchange I speak with Max Pumperla, deep learning engineer at Pathmind and a contributor to many open source projects in data science and machine learning. Max is speaking on applications of reinforcement learning to simulation problems at the upcoming Ray Summit, a free virtual conference scheduled for Sep 30th and Oct 1st. Earlier this year I had Pathmind’s CEO Chris Nicholson on this podcast and he described how reinforcement learning might play a role in simulation problems. In this episode, Max provides an update and a technical description of how Pathmind uses reinforcement learning, RLLib, and Tune, to help users of AnyLogic, a widely used software for simulations in business applications.
