arXiv:2607. 18225v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose one-step and two-step methods for policy learning with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
arXiv:2607. 15577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Causal bandits exploit structural relationships among variables to share information across interventions and accelerate the identification of high-reward decisions.
arXiv:2502. 06577v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Causal knowledge can be used to support decision-making problems.
arXiv:2607. 28408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This thesis studies policy learning in interactive systems where an agent observes a context, selects an action from a very large set, and receives partial feedback.
arXiv:2605. 07304v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bandit algorithms solve diverse sequential decision-making problems, but are often too sample-inefficient for from-scratch personalization.
arXiv:2607. 08971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The stochastic linear bandit, where actions are represented as vectors and rewards are linear, is a central paradigm for sequential decision making.
arXiv:2606. 14929v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern recommendation systems increasingly rely on dynamically routing diverse queries to multiple embedding models.
arXiv:2209. 15448v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As AI becomes more prevalent throughout society, effective methods of integrating humans and AI systems that leverage their respective strengths and mitigate risk have become an important priority.
arXiv:2606. 00367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning problems typically define the goal as maximizing the expected value of a scalar reward function.
arXiv:2606. 19328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Preference-based RL provides an approach to learning reward models from pairwise comparisons of behaviors, bypassing the need for explicit reward design.
arXiv:2510. 19528v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate the fundamental problem of leveraging offline data to accelerate online reinforcement learning - a direction with strong potential but limited theoretical grounding.
arXiv:2508. 02812v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal graphical models can encode large amounts structural knowledge, both from the background knowledge of domain experts and the structural knowledge discovered from randomized experiments or observational data.
arXiv:2405. 19466v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We pose uncertainty quantification and exploration in online decision-making as a problem of training and generation from an autoregressive sequence model, an area experiencing rapid innovation.
