Abstract

A method for determining an appropriate sequence of actions to take during operation of an industrial plant includes obtaining values of a plurality of state variables that characterize an operational state of the plant (or a part thereof); encoding by at least one trained state encoder network the plurality of state variables into a representation of the operating state of the plant; mapping by a trained state-to-action network the representation of the operating state to a representation of a sequence of actions to take in response to the operating state; and decoding by a trained action decoder network the representation of the sequence of actions to the sought sequence of actions to take.
