arXiv:2508. 11931v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present an oracle-efficient, near-optimal algorithm for linear contextual bandits with adversarial losses and stochastic action sets, only requiring a linear optimization oracle for the action sets in each round.
arXiv:2607. 02891v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many online decision-making problems involve both round-specific feasible actions and drifting reward models: eligible ad impressions, feasible prices, and available treatments can change over time, while user preferences, demand curves, and patient responses may evolve.
arXiv:2607. 19854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study horizon-free regret minimization for finite-horizon time-homogeneous tabular Markov decision processes with $S$ states, $A$ actions, horizon $H$, and per-trajectory total reward bounded by $1$.
arXiv:2602. 06404v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study distributed adversarial bandits, where $N$ agents cooperate to minimize the global average loss while observing only their own local losses.
arXiv:2608. 12231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study adversarial combinatorial bandits with $m$-set actions, where at each round the learner selects $m$ out of $d$ items and observes only the aggregate loss of the selected items.
arXiv:2602. 09456v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose an algorithmic framework, Offline Estimation to Decisions (OE2D), that efficiently reduces contextual bandit learning with general reward function approximation to offline regression.
arXiv:2605. 09200v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study adversarial noisy bandits given a known function class $\mathcal{F}$.
arXiv:2603. 28201v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We revisit the standard perturbation-based approach of Abernethy et al.
arXiv:2602. 09474v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study reinforcement learning in MDPs whose transition function is stochastic at most steps but may behave adversarially at a fixed subset of $\Lambda$ steps per episode.
arXiv:2607. 23679v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent years have witnessed increasing interests in tackling heteroscedastic noise in bandits and reinforcement learning.
arXiv:2607. 13686v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the contextual combinatorial semi-bandit (CCSB) problem with general reward function approximation.
arXiv:2502. 08870v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We provide an approach for the analysis of randomised exploration algorithms like Thompson sampling that does not rely on forced optimism or posterior inflation.
arXiv:2608. 15036v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Lipschitz bandit problem extends the traditional multi-armed bandit framework to continuous action spaces by assuming that the reward functions satisfy a Lipschitz condition.
