MAB-OS: Multi-Armed Bandits Metaheuristic Optimizer Selection
Metaheuristic algorithms are derivative-free optimizers designed to estimate the global optima for optimization problems. Keeping balance between exploitation and exploration and the performance complementarity between the algorithms have led to the ...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of replicable policies in the context of stochastic bandits, one of the canonical problems in interactive learning. A policy in the bandit environment is called replicable if it pulls, with high probability, the exact same sequence of arms in two different and independent executions (i.e., under independent reward
