-# Script Usage
-
-
-See example Python scripts for **training** and **scoring** an individual bandit recommender. The example train 
-configuration in `train.yaml` specifies the recommender policy and relevant data files.
-
-```bash
-# Example of how to train an individual recommender using a script
-python scripts/train.py --config scripts/train.yaml
-```
-
-As specified in the configuration file the trained recommender is saved to `tmp_dir/rec.pkl`, which can then be used 
-for scoring recommendations on the test data.
-
-```bash
-# Example of how to score an individual recommender using a script
-python scripts/score.py --config scripts/score.yaml
-```
