LLMs-augmented Contextual Bandit

open access: yesCoRR, 2023
Contextual bandits have emerged as a cornerstone in reinforcement learning, enabling systems to make decisions with partial feedback. However, as contexts grow in complexity, traditional bandit algorithms can face challenges in adequately capturing and utilizing such contexts. In this paper, we propose a novel integration of large language models (LLMs)

EvoClusterBandit: Adaptive Partitioned Bandit Algorithm for Dynamic Environments with Latent Variable Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences
Existing multi-armed bandit algorithms struggle in dynamic environments with latent shifts such as abrupt changes in user behavior or contextual features.

Syphilis and ‘Sons of Empire’: The ‘Prostitute’ and Britain's Fighting Arm in Nineteenth ̵ Century Colonial Punjab

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The British army in India took great care to provide European troops with facilities for sexual relations while anxiously managing venereal disease. Examining archival evidence, political debates and medical discourse from the nineteenth century, this article examines the colonial military enterprise of regulated prostitution in colonial ...

Langevin Monte Carlo for Contextual Bandits

open access: yes, 2022
We study the efficiency of Thompson sampling for contextual bandits. Existing Thompson sampling-based algorithms need to construct a Laplace approximation (i.e., a Gaussian distribution) of the posterior distribution, which is inefficient to sample in ...

Multi-Armed Bandits Convergence Acceleration Using Cluster Normalizations

open access: yesIEEE Access
Recommender systems usually operate in non-stationary environments, so the standard techniques used to create recommendations begin to degrade after some use.

Predicting Ecological Momentary Assessments in an App for Tinnitus by Learning From Each User's Stream With a Contextual Multi-Armed Bandit

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMA) deliver insights on how patients perceive tinnitus at different times and how they are affected by it. Moving to the next level, an mHealth app can support users more directly by predicting a user's next EMA and ...

Respected and Ignored: British Women and the Arab Revolt (1936–39) in Mandate Palestine

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article aims to reinsert British women and their perspectives into our understanding of anticolonial resistance in Palestine. Historiography on the Arab Revolt (1936–39) has previously been built from colonial state archives that disproportionally speak with a male voice and, as such, rely on certain gendered assumptions to describe the ...

Model Selection for Generic Contextual Bandits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We consider the problem of model selection for the general stochastic contextual bandits under the realizability assumption. We propose a successive refinement based algorithm called Adaptive Contextual Bandit ({\ttfamily ACB}), that works in phases and ...

Gaussian Process with Vine Copula-Based Context Modeling for Contextual Multi-Armed Bandits

open access: yesMathematics
We propose a novel contextual multi-armed bandit (CMAB) framework that integrates copula-based context generation with Gaussian Process (GP) regression for reward modeling, addressing complex dependency structures and uncertainty in sequential decision ...
