arXiv:2512. 00517v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sequential optimization of black-box functions from noisy evaluations has been widely studied, with Gaussian Process bandit algorithms such as GP-UCB guaranteeing no-regret in stationary settings.
arXiv:2608. 16492v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies the regret analysis for parallel Gaussian process (GP) bandit optimization.
arXiv:2606. 08977v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Motivated by the recency effect in online learning, we study algorithms for single-pass *sliding-window streaming multi-armed bandits (MABs)* in this paper.
arXiv:2603. 09276v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study a widely used Bayesian optimization method, Gaussian process Thompson sampling (GP-TS), under the assumption that the objective function is a sample path from a GP.
arXiv:2502. 01226v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Gaussian process (GP) bandits provide a powerful framework for performing blackbox optimization of unknown functions.
arXiv:2307. 03587v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In non-stationary linear contextual bandits, existing efficient algorithms typically rely on the Weighted Regularized Least-Squares (WRLS) estimator.
arXiv:2607. 07304v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper we first study the problem of generalized linear bandit (GLB) under heavy-tailed noise.
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:2603. 28201v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We revisit the standard perturbation-based approach of Abernethy et al.
arXiv:2601. 07094v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bayesian optimization (BO) iteratively fits a Gaussian process (GP) surrogate to accumulated evaluations and selects new queries via an acquisition function.
arXiv:2606. 28616v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In stochastic linear bandits, the canonical Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) algorithm admits a simple frequentist regret analysis but can be computationally demanding, while Thompson Sampling (TS) is computationally attractive yet typically harder to analyze due to its non-optimistic nature.
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:2606. 31449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We investigate the contextual slate bandit problem with generalized linear rewards under limited adaptivity.
