Exciting world of Reinforcement Learning

Ever since I got curious and hooked on to the field of reinforcement learning and its numerous applications for the industry, my excitement for the field has only gotten stronger by the day. Here, I'd like to share some of my learnings about the potential applications of reinforcement learning (RL) for consumer businesses. But, before I dive into the details, a quick introduction about RL for ML practitioners who are new to the subject. RL is a branch of Machine Learning involving the training of smart agent that can learn to perform a goal through trial & error in an environment and at the end of the training we have an agent that can perform the goal in real life independently. Now, if you are familiar with the other types of ML -- supervised & unsupervised learning techniques--this might sound very similar to the supervised learning approach.
