Researchers have developed a new algorithm called Sample-Mean Anchored Thompson Sampling (Anchor-TS) to improve offline-to-online learning. This method addresses the challenge of distribution shift between offline and online data by using a novel median-based anchoring rule. Anchor-TS aims to provide more accurate estimates by correcting bias and safely leveraging offline information to accelerate online learning, with theoretical guarantees and experimental validation.
