arXiv:2608.24627v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study adversarial bandit maximization of monotone submodular functions under a matroid constraint. For a rank-$k$ matroid on $n$ elements, we give a...
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:2609.06489v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has demonstrated success in online planning for deterministic environments, yet significant challenges remain in adapt...
arXiv:2602. 17315v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce Flickering Multi-Armed Bandits (FMAB) to model sequential decision-making in environments with changing action availability, where accessibility of the next action is restricted to a subset dependent on the agent's current choice.

arXiv:2608. 12134v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study nonnegative submodular maximization subject to a general matroid when the offline algorithm is given an arbitrary controlled value oracle.
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:2509. 16586v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances have significantly improved our understanding of the sample complexity of learning in average-reward Markov decision processes (AMDPs) under the generative model.
arXiv:2609. 14959v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study decentralized learning of Nash equilibria (NE) in infinite-horizon discounted Markov games under bandit feedback, focusing on Markov $\alpha$-potential games.
arXiv:2607. 10571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study stochastic multi-armed bandits on dynamic graphs, where arms correspond to the vertices of a network with time-varying edges.
arXiv:2606. 29252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study repeated bidding in multi-unit discriminatory (pay-as-bid) auctions for a single bidder with per-round utility equal to value minus $\alpha$ times payment, where $\alpha\in[0,1]$ is a cost-of-capital parameter.
