Reinforcement learning (RL) is a machine learning (ML) paradigm that is capable of optimizing sequential decisions. RL is interesting because it mimics how we, as humans, learn. We are instinctively capable of learning strategies that help us master complex tasks like riding a bike or taking a mathematics exam. RL attempts to copy this process by interacting with the environment to learn strategies. Recently, businesses have been applying ML algorithms to make one-shot decisions. These are trained upon data to make the best decision at the time.
