I’ve made some of my favorite memories on this trip, had more fun than I even imagined, all while learning skills I’ll definitely use in the future.
IHI – Heavy Industry: Energy, Infrastructure, Industrial Systems, and Aero/Space/Defense
Project: Automatic Design System Based on Reinforcement Learning for Aero-Engine Blades
Accomplishments:
- Implemented and compared two reinforcement learning methods (DDPG and DQN) on continuous pendulum task
- Implemented DDPG algorithm to interface with OpenFoam (fluid dynamics software) in python
- Improved DDPG runtime by precomputing discrete actions, then moving to continuous
- Found techniques to help combat hyperparameter sensitivity for image input
