Don’t try deep reinforcement learning without this


Don’t try deep reinforcement learning without this

Automated systems have reached their limits and companies wanting to further enhance business processes are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies like machine learning (ML). In an AnyLogic workshop, Microsoft Autonomous Systems Principal Program Manager Kence Anderson explored the advanced decision-making possibilities of ML and showed how Microsoft’s machine teaching concept is achieving faster training times.

The easily accessible workshop session provides a high-level overview of AI’s state of the art with examples from Microsoft and DeepMind research, as well as illustrative Karate Kid analogies.

Electric vehicles: opportunities and planning


Electric vehicles: opportunities and planning

Electrification of commercial, municipal, and personal vehicle fleets is happening now and quickly. In less than three years, the City of London and Norway target phasing out internal combustion vehicle sales. By 2030, a significant proportion of the world plans the same. Commercial and public organizations will require insight and informed planning to smoothly navigate this time of significant change and make the most of its opportunities.

Here are case studies and research showing how simulation modeling is helping organizations adapt to vehicle electrification.

Webinar follow-up: Simulation Project Life Cycle

Building a successful simulation project is a complex endeavor that can lead to failure if proper tools and best practices are not used. The webinar objective was to discuss, for each phase of a project, how to optimize your chances of resolving a business problem you are facing.

This guest blog by Felipe Haro of Noorjax Consulting follows his AnyLogic Project Life Cycle webinar. The webinar goes deep into how best to manage simulation projects and can be found at the foot of the blog. This blog provides simulation project management context and introduces the main themes of the webinar.
