I’m not filled with confidence when the author’s first paper takes an RL approach but then doesn’t use it to change the action taken in the next turn. Seems like simple classification would achieve the same end. And this quote from the paper isn’t overly reassuring:
“I personally found that this sequential approach captured
sales dynamics much more effectively than traditional classification models.”
