Diversified Multinomial Logit Contextual Bandits

arXiv:2607. 11684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing contextual multinomial logit (MNL) bandits model relevance-driven choice but ignore the potential benefits of within-assortment diversity, while submodular/combinatorial bandits encode diversity in rewards but lack structured choice probabilities.

Sequential Batch Learning in Finite-Action Linear Contextual Bandits

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.

Latent Order Bandits

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.
