Guide ground investigation (GI) with reinforcement learning

Information from GI-drilling is used to build a ground model with layers of clay, gravel, sand, etc., and bedrock surface. The ground model is used for designing buildings, infrastructure and mapping natural hazard risks, such as a quick clay landslide. The agent should minimize the necessary holes to build a ground model for a defined area, with sufficient accuracy, and detect all risk zones.

This is an applied problem where you can contribute to safer, more sustainable, and more efficient construction of buildings and infrastructure + basis for natural hazard assessment. The problem is yet to be sufficiently solved. You will test your model (trained RL-policy) on real ground investigation data from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI).
