SUMMARY
Reinforcement Learning has historically not been as widely adopted in production as other learning approaches (particularly supervised learning), despite being capable of addressing a broader set of problems. But we are now seeing an exponential growth in production RL applications: so much so that it looks like production RL is about to reach a tipping point to the mainstream. In this talk, weÕll talk about why this is happening; detail concrete examples of the areas where RL is adding value; and share some practical tips on deploying RL in your organization.
