Researchers have developed a new algorithm called PROBE (Proxy OLS for Best-arm Exploration) to improve decision-making when reward observations are costly. This algorithm leverages cheap, correlated proxy scores from machine learning and large language models alongside actual reward data. PROBE efficiently learns the correlation between the proxy and the reward, offering significant sample savings compared to traditional methods, especially when the correlation is strong. Numerical experiments demonstrate its effectiveness in scenarios like auto-loan pricing. AI
