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:2607. 10936v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the bandit-feedback version of online principal component analysis (Bandit PCA): in each round $t = 1,\dots,T$, the adversary selects a $d \times d$ symmetric gain matrix $G_t$ with spectrum in $[0,1]$ and rank at most $r$; the learner simultaneously selects a unit vector $w_t \in S^{d-1}$ and receives the reward $w_t^\top G_t w_t$.
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:2604. 20024v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study replicable algorithms for stochastic multi-armed bandits (MAB) and linear bandits with UCB (Upper Confidence Bound) based exploration.
arXiv:2602. 16965v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the decentralized multi-player stochastic bandit problem over a continuous, Lipschitz-structured action space where hard collisions yield zero reward.
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: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:2606. 00835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Network routers that enforce Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees must decide, at every clock cycle, which expiring packet of information to transmit, even when the value of the packet is unknown until it is processed.
arXiv:2603. 28201v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We revisit the standard perturbation-based approach of Abernethy et al.
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.
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:2605. 09200v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study adversarial noisy bandits given a known function class $\mathcal{F}$.
We establish a $\widetildeΩ(d^{5/4}\sqrt T)$ lower bound on the minimax expected regret of stochastic bandit convex optimization of $1$-Lipschitz functions on the Euclidean ball. This presents the first nontrivial regret lower bound that grows faster than $d\sqrt{T}$ for this problem, establishing that stochastic bandit convex optimization is fundamentally harder than linear bandits.
