Does Thinking More always Help? Mirage of Test-Time Scaling in Reasoning Models
Soumya Suvra Ghosal, Souradip Chakraborty, Avinash Reddy +6
Recent trends in test-time scaling for reasoning models (e.g., OpenAI o1, DeepSeek R1) have led to a popular belief that extending thinking traces using prompts like "Wait" or "Let…
Contextual Bandits with Stage-wise Constraints
Aldo Pacchiano, Mohammad Ghavamzadeh, Peter Bartlett
We study contextual bandits in the presence of a stage-wise constraint when the constraint must be satisfied both with high probability and in expectation. We start with the linear…

Conservative Contextual Bandits: Beyond Linear Representations
Rohan Deb, Mohammad Ghavamzadeh, Arindam Banerjee
Conservative Contextual Bandits (CCBs) address safety in sequential decision making by requiring that an agent's policy, along with minimizing regret, also satisfies a safety const…
