A system called Predictive Response Optimization combines reinforcement learning with model predictive control to pick enforcement actions per account using abuse and cost models, then tunes global tradeoff weights by simulation. It deploys on Instagram and Facebook and reduces weighted scraping requests by 59% and 4.5% respectively with no statistically significant user-impact, adapts automatically to new actions, bugs, and adversarial drift, and shows case studies like forced reauth cutting requests 3%, days-active +68%, SMS spend −80%.
