Optimization with Offline Reinforcement Learning
We showed that when you are early in your digitalization journey where you only have access to manipulated variables (e.g. sugar feed rate) and the outcome (e.g. yield), you…

Optimizing DoE and Production Runs with Little Data
For many batch processes (e.g. in Life Sciences, Food & Beverage), the Design of Experiments (DoE) is usually conducted before scaling up to production runs. We believe that Bayesian Optimization and its variants could…
Continue ReadingA Taste of Bayesian Optimization – Part 2
In Part 1, we discussed simple Bayesian optimization (BO), and now we further exam BO by taking into account uncontrollable contextual information and constraints. 1….
Continue ReadingA Taste of Bayesian Optimization – Part 1
Bayesian optimization (BO) is a sample-efficient optimization method focused on solving the problem when the objective function f_0 is unknown or expensive to evaluate. At…
