Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for scheduling user notifications to maximize short-term and long-term benefits from sending the notifications. One method includes an operation for identifying features of a state used for reinforcement learning. The state is associated with an action to decide if a notification to a user is to be sent and a reward for sending the notification to the user. Further, the method includes capturing user responses to notifications sent to users to obtain training data and training a machine-learning (ML) algorithm with reinforcement learning based on the features and the training data to obtain an ML model. Additionally, the method includes receiving a request to send a notification to the user, and deciding, by the ML model, whether to send the notification based on a current state. The notification is sent to the user based on the decision.
