Small steps no more: Global convergence of stochastic gradient bandits for arbitrary learning rates
Jincheng Mei, Bo Dai, Alekh Agarwal +4
We provide a new understanding of the stochastic gradient bandit algorithm by showing that it converges to a globally optimal policy almost surely using \emph{any} constant learnin…
