摘要:

我们提出了一个强盗算法,纯粹通过随机化其过去的观察。特别是,充分的乐观的平均奖励估计是通过利用方差在过去观察到的奖励。我们将该算法命名为“奖励资本化”(CORe)。该算法具有通用性,可以很容易地应用于不同的强盗设置。CORe的主要好处是它的探索完全依赖于数据。它不依赖于任何外部噪声,无需参数调整即可适应不同的问题。我们推导了随机线性强盗中CORe的$n$ -回合遗憾的$\tilde O(d\sqrt{n\log K})$无间隙边界,其中$d$是特征数,$K$是臂数.对多个合成和真实世界问题的广泛实证评估证明了CORe的有效性。

英文摘要:

We propose a bandit algorithm that explores purely by randomizing its past observations. In particular, the sufficient optimism in the mean reward estimates is achieved by exploiting the variance in the past observed rewards. We name the algorithm Capitalizing On Rewards (CORe). The algorithm is general and can be easily applied to different bandit settings. The main benefit of CORe is that its exploration is fully data-dependent. It does not rely on any external noise and adapts to different problems without parameter tuning. We derive a $\tilde O(d\sqrt{n\log K})$ gap-free bound on the $n$-round regret of CORe in a stochastic linear bandit, where $d$ is the number of features and $K$ is the number of arms. Extensive empirical evaluation on multiple synthetic and real-world problems demonstrates the effectiveness of CORe.
