New algorithms improve regret bounds for contextual bandits with knapsack constraints

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed new algorithms for Contextual Bandits with Knapsack problems, which involve assigning customers to products with resource constraints and uncertain rewards. The proposed algorithms extend the Upper-Confidence-Bound (UCB) family and utilize re-optimization techniques. These methods achieve an average regret of O((ln T)^3 / T), a significant improvement over existing bounds for similar dynamic-pricing problems. AI

IMPACT Introduces improved theoretical bounds for decision-making under uncertainty in resource-constrained environments.

    Reoptimization Algorithms for Contextual Bandits with Knapsack Constraints

    arXiv:2608.11383v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study new algorithms for Contextual Bandits with Knapsack. In these problems, there are finitely many types of customers, products, and resources. Each product is made from a fixed combination of resources, and resources have fin…
