Reinforcement Learning Goes Beyond Gaming & Robotics, Will Become A Game Changer In 2019

Is Reinforcement Learning a new trend in data science? Reinforcement learning (RL) is changing the state of each and every sector globally. It is a machine learning technique through which a machine/software can learn to function by itself in an environment. The algorithms push the agent to perform different actions in order to achieve rewards. If the software is not able to perform the right actions, it loses points or is punished. The concept of reward and punishment is what drives the whole reinforcement learning chain. This learning helps the software in deciding actions to achieve goals in the long term.   From AlphaGo to AlphaGo Zero, the real-life applications of Reinforcement Learning have increased significantly. We are also seeing a spate of RL products and services in lead
