Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automatic monitor position adjustment. An indication that an application is being launched is received. A preferred monitor position for the application is determined by referencing a data store mapping preferred monitor positions to respective metadata attributes, where the preferred monitor position for the application is determined based on the preferred monitor position being mapped to a first metadata attribute associated with the application within the data store. An actuator associated with the monitor is then instructed to adjust the position of the monitor to the preferred monitor position.

Systems and methods are described for unified processing of indexed and streaming data. A system enables users to query indexed data or specify processing pipelines to be applied to streaming data. In some instances, a user may specify a query intended to be run against indexed data, but may specify criteria that includes not-yet-indexed data (e.g., a future time frame). The system may convert the query into a data processing pipeline applied to not-yet-indexed data, thus increasing the efficiency of the system. Similarly, in some instances, a user may specify a data processing pipeline to be applied to a data stream, but specify criteria including data items outside the data stream. For example, a user may wish to apply the pipeline retroactively, to data items that have already exited the data stream. The system can convert the pipeline into a query against indexed data to satisfy the users processing requirements.

A method for the autonomous construction and/or design of at least one component part of a component includes the step of determining a state (s.sub.i) of the component part by a state module, wherein a state (s.sub.i) is defined by parameters (p.sub.i) such as data and/or measured values of at least one property (e.sub.i) of the component part. The state (s.sub.i) is transmitted to a reinforcement learning agent, which uses a reinforcement learning algorithm. A calculation function (ƒ.sub.i) and/or an action (a.sub.i) is selected on the basis of a policy for a state (s.sub.i) for the modification of at least one parameter (p.sub.i) by the reinforcement learning agent. A modeled value for the property (e.sub.i) is calculated using the modified parameter (p.sub.i). A new state (s.sub.i+1) is calculated by an environment module on the basis of the modeled value for the property (e.sub.i).

A method for automatically reducing the dimensionality of a mathematical representation of a controlled application system is provided. The method includes receiving, at a control system, data corresponding to control action and system state variables relating to the controlled application system, fitting a constrained reinforcement learning (CRL) model to the controlled application system based on the data, and automatically identifying a subset of the system state variables by selecting control action variables of interest and identifying system state variables that drive the CRL model to recommend each control action variable of interest. The method also includes automatically performing state space dimensionality reduction of the CRL model using the subset of system state variables, estimating a transition probability matrix for a constrained Markov decision process (CMDP) model of the controlled application system, and formulating the CMDP model as a linear programming (LP) problem using the transition probability matrix and several costs.
