arXiv:2508. 02812v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal graphical models can encode large amounts structural knowledge, both from the background knowledge of domain experts and the structural knowledge discovered from randomized experiments or observational data.

arXiv:2607. 15577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Causal bandits exploit structural relationships among variables to share information across interventions and accelerate the identification of high-reward decisions.

arXiv:2607. 09015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study contextual bandit problems with correlated arms and access to surrogate reward signals produced by a machine learning model, motivated by applications such as large language model (LLM) routing.

arXiv:2606. 27917v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contextual bandits with graph-structured arms arise in recommendation, citation retrieval, and social advertising, where arms connected on a graph tend to share reward signal.
