Local Metric Learning for Off-Policy Evaluation in Contextual Bandits with Continuous Actions

Haanvid Lee, Jongmin Lee, Yunseon Choi +4

We consider local kernel metric learning for off-policy evaluation (OPE) of deterministic policies in contextual bandits with continuous action spaces. Our work is motivated by pra…
