Abstract
The current document is directed to a modular reinforcement-learning-based application manager that can be deployed in various different computational environments without extensive modification and interface development. The currently disclosed modular reinforcement-learning-based application manager interfaces to observation and action adapters and metadata that provide a uniform and, in certain implementations, self-describing external interface to the various different computational environments which the modular reinforcement-learning-based application manager may be operated to control. In addition, certain implementations of the currently disclosed modular reinforcement-learning-based application manager interface to a user-specifiable reward-generation interface to allow the rewards that provide feedback from the computational environment to the modular reinforcement-learning-based application manager to be tailored to meet a variety of different user expectations and desired control policies.
