This book serves as a bridge connecting the theoretical foundations of DRL with practical, actionable insights for implementing these technologies in a variety of industrial contexts, making it a valuable resource for professionals and enthusiasts at the forefront of technological innovation. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) represents one of the most dynamic and impactful areas of research and development in the field of artificial intelligence. Bridging the gap between decision-making theory and powerful deep learning models, DRL has evolved from academic curiosity to a cornerstone technology driving innovation across numerous industries. Its core premise—enabling machines to learn optimal actions within complex environments through trial and error—has broad implications, from automating intricate decision processes to optimizing operations that were previously beyond the reach of traditional AI techniques. “Deep Reinforcement Learning and Its Industrial Use Cases: AI for Real-World Applications” is an essential guide for anyone eager to understand the nexus between cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques and practical industrial applications. This book not only demystifies the complex theory behind deep reinforcement learning (DRL) but also provides a clear roadmap for implementing these advanced algorithms in a variety of industries to solve real-world problems. Through a careful blend of theoretical foundations, practical insights, and diverse case studies, the book offers a comprehensive look into how DRL is revolutionizing fields such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and more, by optimizing decisions in dynamic and uncertain environments. This book distills years of research and practical experience into accessible and actionable knowledge. Whether you’re an AI professional seeking to expand your toolkit, a business leader aiming to leverage AI for competitive advantage, or a student or academic researching the latest in AI applications, this book provides valuable insights and guidance. Beyond just exploring the successes of DRL, it critically examines challenges, pitfalls, and ethical considerations, preparing readers to not only implement DRL solutions but to do so responsibly and effectively. Audience The book will be read by researchers, postgraduate students, and industry engineers in machine learning and artificial intelligence, as well as those in business and industry seeking to understand how DRL can be applied to solve complex industry-specific challenges and improve operational efficiency.

This book is a collection of papers that were presented at the 6th International Conference on Big Data Cloud and Internet of Things, BDIoT 2022. The conference took place on October 25-27, 2022, Tangier, Morocco. The book consisted of 49 chapters, which correspond to the four major areas that are covered during the conference, namely Big Data & Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, E-Learning, Internet of Things, Information System and Natural Language Processing. Every year BDIoT attracted researchers from all over the world, and this year was not an exception – the authors received 98 submissions from 7 countries. More importantly, there were participants from many countries, which indicates that the conference is truly gaining more and more international recognition as it brought together a vast number of specialists who represented the aforementioned fields and share information about their newest projects. Since the authors strived to make the conference presentations and proceedings of the highest quality possible, the authors only accepted papers that presented the results of various investigations directed to the discovery of new scientific knowledge in the area of Big Data, IoT and their applications. All the papers were reviewed and selected by the Program Committee, which comprised 96 reviewers from over 58 academic institutions. As usual, each submission was reviewed following a double process by at least two reviewers. When necessary, some of the papers were reviewed by three or four reviewers. Authors’ deepest thanks and appreciation go to all the reviewers for devoting their precious time to produce truly through reviews and feedback to the authors.
