Robust Control of Scientific Simulations with Deep Reinforcement Learning

Executive Summary

We propose advancing state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning to increase its applicability to real-world problems by improving performance in unseen environments, adding interpretability and  diverse candidate solutions. If successful, our findings will advance breakthroughs in large-scale scientific simulations, precision medicine, and rapid response to novel pathogens, among other discoveries that rely on high-performance computer simulations.
