Long-term Off-Policy Evaluation and Learning
Yuta Saito, Himan Abdollahpouri, Jesse Anderton +2
Short- and long-term outcomes of an algorithm often differ, with damaging downstream effects. A known example is a click-bait algorithm, which may increase short-term clicks but da…
A Comparison of Methods for Treatment Assignment with an Application to Playlist Generation
Carlos Fernández-Loría, Foster Provost, Jesse Anderton +2
This study presents a systematic comparison of methods for individual treatment assignment, a general problem that arises in many applications and has received significant attentio…
Adaptively Pruning Features for Boosted Decision Trees
Maryam Aziz, Jesse Anderton, Javed Aslam
Boosted decision trees enjoy popularity in a variety of applications; however, for large-scale datasets, the cost of training a decision tree in each round can be prohibitively exp…
Revealing the Basis: Ordinal Embedding Through Geometry
Jesse Anderton, Virgil Pavlu, Javed Aslam
Ordinal Embedding places n objects into R^d based on comparisons such as "a is closer to b than c." Current optimization-based approaches suffer from scalability problems and an ab…
Pure Exploration in Infinitely-Armed Bandit Models with Fixed-Confidence
Maryam Aziz, Jesse Anderton, Emilie Kaufmann +1
We consider the problem of near-optimal arm identification in the fixed confidence setting of the infinitely armed bandit problem when nothing is known about the arm reservoir dist…
Measuring Human-perceived Similarity in Heterogeneous Collections
Jesse Anderton, Pavel Metrikov, Virgil Pavlu +1
We present a technique for estimating the similarity between objects such as movies or foods whose proper representation depends on human perception. Our technique combines a modes…
