Abstract: An end-to-end cloud-based machine learning platform providing two data pipelines: a first machine learning pipeline provides data transformation, a second machine learning pipeline optimizes those data transformations. The first pipeline transforms raw data into model features, and features into machine learning models. It provides training, inference, and experimentation of online and off-line models for personalizing experiences for game players. The second pipeline optimizes models generated by the first pipeline leveraging a reinforcement learning (RL) model and an evolution strategy (ES) model. The second pipeline learns with its first RL model, from experimentation, the best performing models. To improve the training of new models, the second pipeline also transfers its learning from its first RL model to its second ES model to generate the training of new models in the first pipeline. The second pipeline can be considered as an overlay pipeline to the first one.
