Abstract

In today’s world, recommenders have grabbed a major importance to improve the sales where this paper provides the use of machine learning approach which involves machine learning technique like Q-learning that has an evident prediction on improving the sales. The logical network that can be formed for the mobiles and sales can be treated as a heterogeneous information network and traversing this semantic network gives meaningful meta-paths. The reinforcement learning technique, Q-Learning, is applied to predict the sales of a product.
