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), Design of Experiments (DoE) is usually conducted before scaling up to production runs. We believe that Bayesian Optimization and its variants could significantly improve…

Open sourcing A better Penicillin Bioreactor Simulation
For industries like Life Sciences, it is challenging to collect a large amount of data with high quality that are needed for machine learning and autonomous control applications. Instead, we settle with simulations where initial…
