Spectral bandits for smooth graph functions with applications in recommender systems

Tomáš Kocák, Michal Valko, Rémi Munos +2

Smooth functions on graphs have wide applications in manifold and semi-supervised learning. In this paper, we study a bandit problem where the payoffs of arms are smooth on a graph…

Spectral bandits

Tomáš Kocák, Rémi Munos, Branislav Kveton +2

Smooth functions on graphs have wide applications in manifold and semi-supervised learning. In this work, we study a bandit problem where the payoffs of arms are smooth on a graph.…

Online learning with Erdős-Rényi side-observation graphs

Tomáš Kocák, Gergely Neu, Michal Valko

We consider adversarial multi-armed bandit problems where the learner is allowed to observe losses of a number of arms beside the arm that it actually chose. We study the case wher…

Efficient learning by implicit exploration in bandit problems with side observations

Tomas Kocak, Gergely Neu, Michal Valko +1

We consider online learning problems under a partial observability model capturing situations where the information conveyed to the learner is between full information and bandit f…

Online learning with noisy side observations

Tomáš Kocák, Gergely Neu, Michal Valko

We propose a new partial-observability model for online learning problems where the learner, besides its own loss, also observes some noisy feedback about the other actions, depend…

Spectral Thompson sampling

Tomas Kocak, Michal Valko, Remi Munos +1

Thompson Sampling (TS) has attracted a lot of interest due to its good empirical performance, in particular in the computational advertising. Though successful, the tools for its p…

On the complexity of All -Best Arms Identification

Aymen Al Marjani, Tomáš Kocák, Aurélien Garivier

We consider the question introduced by \cite{Mason2020} of identifying all the -optimal arms in a finite stochastic multi-armed bandit with Gaussian rewards. We give t…

A Non-asymptotic Approach to Best-Arm Identification for Gaussian Bandits

Antoine Barrier, Aurélien Garivier, Tomáš Kocák

We propose a new strategy for best-arm identification with fixed confidence of Gaussian variables with bounded means and unit variance. This strategy, called Exploration-Biased Sam…
