Dean Wampler Dean Wampleris a Chicago-based expert in data engineering for scalable, streaming data systems and applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI). He is a Principal Software Engineer at Domino Data Lab. Previously, he worked at Anyscale, where he focused on scalable ML with Ray, and at Lightbend, where he developed distributed streaming data systems using Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Kubernetes, and other tools.
Dean is the author of Programming Scala, What Is Ray? Distributed Computing Made Simple, and Fast Data Architectures for Streaming Applications, among other titles from O’Reilly. Dean has a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Washington.
Agent Training with RLlib
Reinforcement learning (RL) trains an agent to maximize a cumulative reward in an environment.
We will start with why RL is important, how it works, and several applications of RL. The presentation continues with how RL requires a variety of computational patterns: data processing, simulations, model training, model serving, etc.
Finally, Dean will discuss how RLlib, implemented with Ray, seamlessly and efficiently supports RL, providing an ideal platform for building Python-based, RL applications with an intuitive, flexible API. You will also learn how RLlib is one of the few frameworks that efficiently supports all these patterns at scale.
