Jun 1, 20252025-06 Monthly Summary for assume-framework/assume: Delivered major refactors to the Learning Framework by centralizing action retrieval and observation construction in base classes, enabling more flexible learning strategies and reducing code duplication. Introduced a wrap-around data window in FastSeries to support native windowing. Implemented a comprehensive Reinforcement Learning tutorial notebook with end-to-end training, observation space definitions, guided exploration, and reward design to accelerate onboarding and experimentation. Added tests for the new window functionality to improve reliability. While no explicit bug fixes were listed this month, the changes reduce future defects and simplify maintenance. Commit highlights include 9d7465e726ac81ab9469e56355646585dda20742, e96e33a4305edf83ead8c882224d7375f0c48903, and f07bcff6fcba4d0fa1ee7eae62765cd6b1fff4ba.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 (assume-framework/assume): Key business value delivered through scalable experimentation, robust persistence, and configurable learning workflows. Major deliverables include: dynamic learning agents count across training runs for resource reuse; tests for saving/loading ensuring reliability of checkpoints; preservation of unit order when saving/loading critics to guarantee correct weight transfer; DRL bidding strategies initialization improvements for config-driven flexibility; policy dimensionality checks enhanced with tests to prevent shape-related errors. Documentation and maintainability improvements (release notes, docstrings, code refactors) supported faster onboarding and traceability. Notable bug fixes include initial exploration disable logic, disabling exploration for loaded actors, and warning suppression during continue learning, leading to more stable training pipelines.
