Contextual bandits to increase user prediction accuracy in movie recommendation system [PDF]

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences
Cold-start problems are inevitable phenomena where recommendation systems fail to accurately predict users’ favour and cause the loss of new users. The typical Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) models are widely adopted as recommendation systems to solve cold ...

Enhancing Dynamic Movie Recommendations With User Expectation Ratings in Contextual Bandit Models [PDF]

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences
Modern movie recommendation systems face challenges such as dynamic personalization and real-time adaptability. Traditional methods like collaborative filtering and content-based recommendations struggle with dynamic user preferences and cold-start ...

Conditionally Risk-Averse Contextual Bandits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Contextual bandits with average-case statistical guarantees are inadequate in risk-averse situations because they might trade off degraded worst-case behaviour for better average performance.

Model selection for contextual bandits

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
We introduce the problem of model selection for contextual bandits, where a learner must adapt to the complexity of the optimal policy while balancing exploration and exploitation. Our main result is a new model selection guarantee for linear contextual bandits.

Federated Linear Contextual Bandits

open access: yesCoRR, 2021
This paper presents a novel federated linear contextual bandits model, where individual clients face different $K$-armed stochastic bandits coupled through common global parameters. By leveraging the geometric structure of the linear rewards, a collaborative algorithm called Fed-PE is proposed to cope with the heterogeneity across clients without ...

Neural Contextual Bandits for Personalized Recommendation

open access: yes, 2023
In the dynamic landscape of online businesses, recommender systems are pivotal in enhancing user experiences. While traditional approaches have relied on static supervised learning, the quest for adaptive, user-centric recommendations has led to the ...

Battery-aided privacy preservation of household electricity load profiles under time-of-use tariffs

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2022
Collecting fine-grained data on electricity usage can reduce the user’s energy cost by accurate demand response and improve the services from utilities. However, non-intrusive power load monitoring (NILM) technology shows that these data will reveal the ...

Stochastic Conservative Contextual Linear Bandits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Many physical systems have underlying safety considerations that require that the strategy deployed ensures the satisfaction of a set of constraints. Further, often we have only partial information on the state of the system. We study the problem of safe

Do Retrieval-Trained Embeddings Help Linear Contextual Bandits?

open access: yesMathematics
Text embeddings from retrieval-tuned (dual-encoder) models are increasingly used as context features in contextual bandits for recommendation, on the assumption that an embedding space optimized for inner-product similarity will speed up a linear ...
