Scientific Computing and Simulation
A simulation gives us examples without running every experiment on the real system. Work out how close those examples are to the behaviour we care about, and whether the calculations themselves are reliable.
Simulating and Learning System Behaviour
Botie can learn from simulated experiences, but we first need to know what that simulator is doing. Inspect numerical time steps, compare policies on shared scenarios, fit unknown physical parameters and test conditions that the original model did not handle.4 lessonsNumerical Methods for Learning
A formula can be correct and still give a bad answer on a computer. A calculation may produce a number too large to represent, or a set of measurements may leave several explanations equally possible. We’ll examine those problems before using numerical results to judge a model or a simulation.4 lessons
