Robust Outlier Arm Identification
Yinglun Zhu, Sumeet Katariya, Robert Nowak
We study the problem of Robust Outlier Arm Identification (ROAI), where the goal is to identify arms whose expected rewards deviate substantially from the majority, by adaptively s…
Tighter Confidence Intervals for Rating Systems
Robert Nowak, Ervin Tánczos
Rating systems are ubiquitous, with applications ranging from product recommendation to teaching evaluations. Confidence intervals for functionals of rating data such as empirical…
Bilinear Bandits with Low-rank Structure
Kwang-Sung Jun, Rebecca Willett, Stephen Wright +1
We introduce the bilinear bandit problem with low-rank structure in which an action takes the form of a pair of arms from two different entity types, and the reward is a bilinear f…
Assembly of repetitive regions using next-generation sequencing data
Robert M. Nowak
High read depth can be used to assemble short sequence repeats. The existing genome assemblers fail in repetitive regions of longer than average read. I propose a new algorithm for…
