Application of AI In The Oil Sands
Presentation Overview
Artificial Intelligence is an important tool in realizing the higher level autonomy in process industries. An important sub-sect of this is Reinforcement/Deep Reinforcement Learning. This session showcases its latest advancements using a high fidelity Primary separation vessel model. Insights into the bottlenecks for adaptation of this scheme from a platform and theoretical perspective are touched upon. Also, the future steps that the RL team with Dr. Biao is planning also gets emancipated.
