Minimax Lower Bounds for the Two-Armed Bandit Problem [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 1997 We obtain minimax lower bounds on the regret for the classical two--armed bandit problem. We provide a finite--sample minimax version of the well--known log "n" asymptotic lower bound of Lai and Robbins. Also, in contrast to the log "n" asymptotic results on the regret, we show that the minimax regret is achieved by mere random guessing under fairly ...

History, EarlyView.Abstract This article examines the poll tax (Ottoman Turkish cizye; Arabic jizya) levied on non‐Muslim subjects of the Ottoman Empire, not as a fixed, one‐dimensional tax item within the Ottoman fiscal system but as a multi‐layered administrative instrument organized around obligation, exemption and remission.

A Modified Multi-Level Hyper Heuristic for Tackling Combinatorial Optimization Problems [PDF]
IJCI International Journal of Computers and InformationHyper-heuristics are search techniques that operate on heuristic spaces by selecting low-level heuristics appropriately. Hyper-heuristic aims to generate a generalized and automated approaches to solve various problem domains.

Two-Sided Learning for NOMA-Based Random Access in IoT Networks
IEEE Access, 2021 In the Internet-of-Things (IoT), different types of devices can co-exist within a network. For example, there can be cheap but inflexible devices and flexible devices in terms of radio frequency (RF) capabilities.

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study traces how gambling in Australia changed from a simple form of leisure, enjoyed by all social classes in colonial times, to a billion‐dollar industry driven by political and economic imperatives. Using a case study, it links vertical fiscal imbalance (VFI), caused by changes to the state‐federal taxation structure, to the ...

Efficient crowdsourcing of unknown experts using multi-armed bandits [PDF]
, 2012 We address the expert crowdsourcing problem, in which an employer wishes to assign tasks to a set of available workers with heterogeneous working costs.

Making Boundaries: Polish Memory, Identity and the Ukrainian Other
Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Political elites use historical references abundantly when drawing national boundaries. Despite the prominence of such language, we know little about the ways in which ordinary citizens internalise historical narratives of the Other to construct their national identity.

A Sequential Design for the Two Armed Bandit
The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1960 1. Introduction. Let the two random variables (r.v.) X and Y, with E(X) = p and E(Y) = q, describe the outcomes of two experiments, Ex I and Ex II. An experimenter, who does not know the values of p and q, has to perform a sequence of experiments, and at each step he may choose between Ex I and Ex II.
