Reinforcement Learning with ColdFusion by Minh Vo

In this session we're going to explore Reinforcement Learning and how we can use it in our daily work lives (within the context of a Web Application of course)! As many of you know, RL is the basic technology behind drones, self-driving cars, and bots for playing video games--but, did you know you can use it to strategize marketing, optimize UI/Banner/Button placements, and much more? Let me show you!

In typical Draft Studios fashion, in under one hour we'll go over an absurd example we put together here: https://draftstudios.github.io/reinforcement/. Then, we'll tone it down, highlight our learnings, and scheme out more typical use-cases for businesses day-to-day. By the end of our session, we'll expose and share a simple pattern that we'll use to solve these kinds of problems in CF so you can walk away satisfied!
