Coverage-Maximizing Multinomial Subset Routing under Operational Constraints

arXiv:2608. 16375v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Multinomial Subset Routing (MSR), a new online routing framework over $K$ experts in which the learner keeps a multinomial routing policy instead of a deterministic subset of experts.

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.

Optimal and Efficient Contextual Combinatorial Semi-bandits with General Function Approximation

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.

Meritocratic Fairness via $K$-Shapley Values in Budgeted Combinatorial Bandits with Full-Bandit Feedback

arXiv:2605. 00762v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study meritocratic fairness in budgeted combinatorial multi-armed bandits with full-bandit feedback, where a learner selects at most $K$ arms per time step and observes only the noisy aggregate reward of the selected set.
