By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Researchers are advancing the field of linear contextual bandits with several new papers exploring different aspects of the problem. One study focuses on high-dimensional settings, proposing an online sparse estimation algorithm to achieve logarithmic regret dependence on feature dimension. Another paper introduces algorithms for bandits with paid observations, achieving competitive adversarial and stochastic regret rates. Additionally, a new approach improves dimension dependence for bandit convex optimization with gradient variations, and another explores how mixing can simplify linear bandits with Markovian contexts.

    High-dimensional Linear Bandits with Knapsacks

    arXiv:2311.01327v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We investigate the contextual bandits with knapsack (CBwK) problem in a high-dimensional linear setting, where the feature dimension can be very large. Our goal is to harness sparsity to obtain sharper regret guarantees. To this…

    Best-of-Both Worlds for linear contextual bandits with paid observations

    arXiv:2510.07424v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study linear contextual bandits with paid observations, where at each round the learner observes a context, selects an action, and may pay a fixed cost to observe feedback from a subset of arms. We propose two Follow-the-Regu…

    Improved Dimension Dependence for Bandit Convex Optimization with Gradient Variations

    arXiv:2602.04761v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Gradient-variation online learning has drawn increasing attention due to its deep connections to game theory and optimization. It has been studied extensively in the full-information setting, but is underexplored with bandit fee…

    Mixing Makes Markovian Contexts Cheap for Linear Bandits

    arXiv:2603.12530v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work shows that when contexts are drawn i.i.d., linear contextual bandits can be reduced to single-context linear bandits. This ``contexts are cheap'' perspective is highly advantageous, as it allows for sharper finite-ti…
