摘要:

我们考虑一个变种的最佳武器识别(BAI)问题的多武装匪徒(MAB),其中有两套武器(源和目标),目标是确定最佳的目标手臂,而只拉源武器。在本文中,我们研究的设置时,尽管手段是未知的,有一个已知的源和目标MAB实例之间的加性关系。我们展示了我们的框架如何涵盖了一系列以前研究过的纯探索问题,并捕获了新的问题。我们提出并从理论上分析了LUCB风格的算法,以确定一个$ε$最佳的目标臂的概率很高。我们的理论分析强调了这个迁移学习问题的各个方面,这些问题在典型的BAI设置中不会出现,并且还将用于单域BAI的LUCB算法恢复为特殊情况。

英文摘要:

We consider a variant of the best arm identification (BAI) problem in multi-armed bandits (MAB) in which there are two sets of arms (source and target), and the objective is to determine the best target arm while only pulling source arms. In this paper, we study the setting when, despite the means being unknown, there is a known additive relationship between the source and target MAB instances. We show how our framework covers a range of previously studied pure exploration problems and additionally captures new problems. We propose and theoretically analyze an LUCB-style algorithm to identify an $ε$-optimal target arm with high probability. Our theoretical analysis highlights aspects of this transfer learning problem that do not arise in the typical BAI setup, and yet recover the LUCB algorithm for single domain BAI as a special case.
