Quantum Lipschitz Bandits

AAAI 2026technical

The Lipschitz bandit is a key variant of stochastic bandit problems where the expected reward function satisfies a Lipschitz condition with respect to an arm metric space. With its wide-ranging practical applications, various Lipschitz bandit algorithms have been developed, achieving the optimal reg

Single Index Bandits: Generalized Linear Contextual Bandits with Unknown Reward Functions

ICLR 2026poster

Generalized linear bandits have been extensively studied due to their broad applicability in real-world online decision-making problems. However, these methods typically assume that the expected reward function is known to the users, an assumption that is often unrealistic in practice. Misspecificat…

Efficient Frameworks for Generalized Low-Rank Matrix Bandit Problems

NeurIPS 2022accept

In the stochastic contextual low-rank matrix bandit problem, the expected reward of an action is given by the inner product between the action's feature matrix and some fixed, but initially unknown $d_1$ by $d_2$ matrix $\Theta^*$ with rank $r \ll \{d_1, d_2\}$, and an agent sequentially takes actio…

Syndicated Bandits: A Framework for Auto Tuning Hyper-parameters in Contextual Bandit Algorithms

NeurIPS 2022accept

The stochastic contextual bandit problem, which models the trade-off between exploration and exploitation, has many real applications, including recommender systems, online advertising and clinical trials. As many other machine learning algorithms, contextual bandit algorithms often have one or more…
