Abstract
Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems to control operations of specified physical target systems. In some situations, the described techniques include obtaining and analyzing sensor data about operations of a target system in order to generate an improved model of a current state of the target system, and using the modeled state information as part of determining further current and/or future automated control actions to take for the target system, such as to generate a function and/or other structure that models internal operations of the target system, rather than merely attempting to estimate target system output from input without understanding the internal structure and operations of the target system.
