System with a water-bearing household appliance and method for operating a water-bearing household appliance

A computer-implemented method for operating a water-bearing household appliance, in particular a dishwasher, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• executing, by a control device of the dishwasher, a certain treatment program from a plurality of treatment programs, each of the treatment programs including a number of sub-programs and a number of water changes and being determined by a number of program parameters,
• observing, by an observation unit of the dishwasher, execution of the certain treatment program for providing an observation result,
• providing, by an interpreter unit of the dishwasher, a reward by interpreting the observation result,
• providing, by a providing unit, an adapted treatment program by adapting the certain treatment program using a treatment policy and a deep reinforcement learning process, with the deep reinforcement learning process including the reward as an input and adapting the treatment policy using the reward as input receiving the adapted treatment program by a receiver unit designed to receive the adapted treatment program and to provide the adapted treatment program to the control device, wherein the control device is designed to execute the adapted treatment program, and
• executing the adapted treatment program by the control device of the dishwasher.

A computer program product for operating a water-bearing household appliance, in particular a dishwasher, the computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising machine readable instructions, that when executed by at least one processing unit of the dishwasher, causes the to perform operations comprising:

• executing, by a control device of the dishwasher, a certain treatment program from a plurality of treatment programs of the dishwasher, each of the treatment programs including a number of sub-programs and a number of water changes and being determined by a number of program parameters,
• observing, using an observation unit of the dishwasher, execution of the certain treatment program for providing an observation result,
• providing, using an interpreter unit of the dishwasher, a reward by interpreting the observation result,
• providing, by a providing unit, an adapted treatment program by adapting the certain treatment program using a treatment policy and a deep reinforcement learning process, with the deep reinforcement learning process including the reward as an input and adapting the treatment policy using the reward as input receiving the adapted treatment program by a receiver unit designed to receive the adapted treatment program and to provide the adapted treatment program to the control device, wherein the control device is designed to execute the adapted treatment program, and
• executing the adapted treatment program.
