Machine Learning and Simio

[MarcoJHB]

Hi all,

Was wondering if Simio has machine learning capabilities? If so, are there examples/tutorials on how to do it? If not, are there plans for it to be included in the future?

Simio does not have a specific machine learning feature, but many people still implement a form of machine learning in one of two ways:

1) Data-driven models, and particularly data-generated models, will improve their operation with better data. As you system runs, and the data improves, the model will automatically improve.

2) Particularly in scheduling applications - a model is never static. Every time your run a model and discover the possibility of creating a better solution (better schedule) you manually improve the built-in heuristics to it generates a better solution the next time.

Pls refer to below paper for integrating simio and M/L algorithms. very good read.

Thank you for the paper, quite interesting, we will think about how to use such an approach in our model.

there is another paper similar:  https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.5555/3427510.3427538

Good to know Simio has embeded ANN in new sprint

Check the SimBit project called "Neural Networks" for a detailed example of this new feature.
