Learning the Truth in Social Networks Using Multi-Armed Bandit

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
This paper explains how agents in a social network can learn the arbitrary time-varying true state of the network. This is practical in social networks where information is released and updated without any coordination.

Beta Upper Confidence Bound Policy for the Design of Clinical Trials

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2023
The multi-armed bandit problem is a classic example of the exploration-exploitation trade-off well suited to model sequential resource allocation under uncertainty.

Conflict-free collective stochastic decision making by orbital angular momentum of photons through quantum interference

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In recent cross-disciplinary studies involving both optics and computing, single-photon-based decision-making has been demonstrated by utilizing the wave-particle duality of light to solve multi-armed bandit problems.

The Perils of Misspecified Priors and Optional Stopping in Multi-Armed Bandits

open access: yesFrontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2021
The connection between optimal stopping times of American Options and multi-armed bandits is the subject of active research. This article investigates the effects of optional stopping in a particular class of multi-armed bandit experiments, which ...

A user selection algorithm for aggregating electric vehicle demands based on a multi‐armed bandit approach

open access: yesIET Energy Systems Integration, 2021
In systems with high penetration of renewables, demand side resources have been aggregated to facilitate system operation. However, the natural uncertainty and randomness of users' behaviour may deteriorate the demand aggregation performance, including a

A generalised gittins index for a class of multi-armed bandits with general resource requirements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We generalise classical multiarmed bandits to allow for the distribution of a (fixed amount of a) divisible resource among the constituent bandits at each decision point.

A Review of Multi-Armed Bandit Algorithms in Player Modeling and Game Design [PDF]

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences
This paper explores the application of multi-armed bandit algorithms (MAB) in game design, focusing on player modeling and game optimization. The effectiveness of multi-armed bandit algorithms in modeling player characteristics such as skill level, play ...

A multi-armed bandit approach for exploring partially observed networks

open access: yesApplied Network Science, 2019
Background real-world networks such as social and communication networks are too large to be observed entirely. Such networks are often partially observed such that network size, network topology, and nodes of the original network are unknown.

Residential HVAC Aggregation Based on Risk-averse Multi-armed Bandit Learning for Secondary Frequency Regulation

open access: yesJournal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy, 2020
As the penetration of renewable energy continues to increase, stochastic and intermittent generation resources gradually replace the conventional generators, bringing significant challenges in stabilizing power system frequency.
