Facilitating Reinforcement Learning for Process Control Using Transfer Learning: Perspectives

Abstract

This paper provides insights into deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for process control from the perspective of transfer learning. We analyze the challenges of applying DRL in the field of process industries and the necessity of introducing transfer learning. Furthermore, recommendations and prospects are provided for future research directions on how transfer learning can be integrated with DRL to empower process control.Comment: Final Version of Asian Control Conference (ASCC 2024
