Bridging Rested and Restless Bandits with Graph-Triggering: Rising and Rotting

arXiv:2409. 05980v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rested and Restless Bandits are two well-known bandit settings that are useful to model real-world sequential decision-making problems in which the expected reward of an arm evolves over time due to the actions we perform or due to the nature.

Fixed-Confidence Best-Arm Identification for Causal Mediation Analysis

arXiv:2607. 04315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper studies the problem of identifying the treatment that maximizes the expected natural direct potential outcome (NDPO), which captures the potential outcome of an intervention while excluding the pathway transmitted through a mediator that researchers may wish to remove from evaluation.
