Reinforcement Learning for Budget Constrained Recommendations

by Ehtsham Elahiwith James McInerney, Nathan Kallus, Dario Garcia Garcia and Justin BasilicoIntroductionThis writeup is about using reinforcement learning to construct an optimal list of recommendations when the user has a finite time budget to make a decision from the list of recommendations. Working within the time budget introduces an extra resource constraint for the recommender system. It is similar to many other decision problems (for e.g. in economics and operations research) where the en...
