Estimating the minimizer and the minimum value of a regression function under passive design
Arya Akhavan, Davit Gogolashvili, Alexandre B. Tsybakov
We propose a new method for estimating the minimizer and the minimum value of a smooth and strongly convex regression function from the observations co…
Group Meritocratic Fairness in Linear Contextual Bandits
Riccardo Grazzi, Arya Akhavan, John Isak Texas Falk +2
We study the linear contextual bandit problem where an agent has to select one candidate from a pool and each candidate belongs to a sensitive group. In this setting, candidates' r…
A gradient estimator via L1-randomization for online zero-order optimization with two point feedback
Arya Akhavan, Evgenii Chzhen, Massimiliano Pontil +1
This work studies online zero-order optimization of convex and Lipschitz functions. We present a novel gradient estimator based on two function evaluations and randomization on the…
