We study the contextual combinatorial semi-bandit (CCSB) problem with general reward function approximation. At each round, the learner observes a context, selects a combinatorial action consisting of a subset of basic arms, and receives the reward of each selected arm; the goal is to maximize the cumulative reward over time.
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. 09454v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the $\textit{single-index bandit}$ problem, where rewards depend on an unknown one-dimensional projection of high-dimensional contexts through an unknown reward function.
arXiv:2004. 06321v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the sequential batch learning problem in linear contextual bandits with finite action sets, where the decision maker is constrained to split incoming individuals into (at most) a fixed number of batches and can only observe outcomes for the individuals within a batch at the batch's end.
arXiv:2510. 21431v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the combinatorial semi-bandit problem where an agent selects a subset of base arms and receives individual feedback.
arXiv:2606. 31449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate the contextual slate bandit problem with generalized linear rewards under limited adaptivity.
arXiv:2606. 00984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study linear contextual bandits under rare parameter updates: the learner may incorporate reward feedback into its parameter estimate only at a small number of update times, while still observing contexts online and selecting actions sequentially.
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:2606. 27448v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies the problem of regret minimization in Markovian bandits with \emph{non-observable states} and possibly \emph{constrained} decision epochs.
arXiv:2502. 13467v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The $K$-Max combinatorial multi-armed bandit problem arises in applications such as recommendation and distributed decision making, where the reward is determined by the maximum outcome among $K$ selected arms.
arXiv:2607. 26273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider a stochastic multi-objective bandit problem where, at each round, the agent selects a slate of $k$ arms and observes their $d$-dimensional reward vectors under semi-bandit feedback.
arXiv:2604. 00523v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study for the first time, stochastic dueling bandits over continuous action spaces with Lipschitz structure, where feedback is purely comparative.
