The Sample Complexity of Multiclass and Sparse Contextual Bandits
Liad Erez, Fan Chen, Alon Cohen +4
We study contextual bandits in the stochastic i.i.d.\ setting, where a learner observes contexts drawn from an unknown distribution, selects actions from a finite set , and aims…
From Contextual Combinatorial Semi-Bandits to Bandit List Classification: Improved Sample Complexity with Sparse Rewards
Liad Erez, Tomer Koren
We study the problem of contextual combinatorial semi-bandits, where input contexts are mapped into subsets of size of a collection of possible actions. In each round, the…
Sample Complexity of Agnostic Multiclass Classification: Natarajan Dimension Strikes Back
Alon Cohen, Liad Erez, Steve Hanneke +4
The fundamental theorem of statistical learning states that binary PAC learning is governed by a single parameter -- the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension -- which determines both…
Regret Bounds for Adversarial Contextual Bandits with General Function Approximation and Delayed Feedback
Orin Levy, Liad Erez, Alon Cohen +1
We present regret minimization algorithms for the contextual multi-armed bandit (CMAB) problem over actions in the presence of delayed feedback, a scenario where loss observati…
Regret Minimization and Convergence to Equilibria in General-sum Markov Games
Liad Erez, Tal Lancewicki, Uri Sherman +2
An abundance of recent impossibility results establish that regret minimization in Markov games with adversarial opponents is both statistically and computationally intractable. Ne…
