Zero-Inflated Bandits

open access: yes, 2023
Many real applications of bandits have sparse non-zero rewards, leading to slow learning rates. A careful distribution modeling that utilizes problem-specific structures is known as critical to estimation efficiency in the statistics literature, yet is ...

The Bandit Whisperer: Communication Learning for Restless Bandits

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to Restless Multi-Arm Bandits (RMABs) offers a promising avenue for addressing allocation problems with resource constraints and temporal dynamics. However, classic RMAB models largely overlook the challenges of (systematic) data errors - a common occurrence in real-world scenarios due to factors like varying data ...

Elmore Leonard's bandits

open access: yes, 1987
Bandits assembles an unlikely crew: an ex-cop, an ex-con, and an ex-nun. They've got their eyes on several million bucks intended for the Contras; with their unique set of skills and their crazily clever plan, they're sure to make out like bandits -- if ...

Multivariate Bandits and Their Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We will review the multi-armed bandit problem and its application to optimizing click-through for Web site banners. We will present multi-variate extensions to the basic bandit technology including the use of Gaussian Processes to model relations between different arms.

Cascading Bandits with Feedback

open access: yes2025 First International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Systems at the Edge (ICEdge)
Motivated by the challenges of edge inference, we study a variant of the cascade bandit model in which each arm corresponds to an inference model with an associated accuracy and error probability. We analyse four decision-making policies-Explore-then-Commit, Action Elimination, Lower Confidence Bound (LCB), and Thompson Sampling-and provide sharp ...

Multilevel Constrained Bandits: A Hierarchical Upper Confidence Bound Approach with Safety Guarantees

open access: yesMathematics
The multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem is a foundational model for sequential decision-making under uncertainty. While MAB has proven valuable in applications such as clinical trials and online advertising, traditional formulations have limitations ...

Stochastic k-Submodular Bandits with Full Bandit Feedback

open access: yesInternational Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems
In this paper, we present the first sublinear α-regret bounds for online k-submodular optimization problems with full-bandit feedback, where α is a corresponding offline approximation ratio. Specifically, we propose online algorithms for multiple k-submodular stochastic combinatorial multi-armed bandit problems, including (i) monotone functions and ...
