MINTS: Minimalist Thompson Sampling
Researchers have introduced MINTS, a new Bayesian framework for sequential decision-making under uncertainty. This minimalist approach places a prior only on the optimum's location, simplifying complex structural constraints. MINTS offers near-optimal regret guarantees for multi-armed bandits with mean constraints, adapting to unimodal structures and achieving sharp constants. AI
