New bandit algorithms optimize smooth graph functions for recommendations

Researchers have introduced a new bandit problem framework designed for smooth functions on graphs, applicable to online learning tasks like content-based recommendation. The proposed algorithms aim to minimize cumulative regret by considering an 'effective dimension' of the graph, which is shown to be small in real-world scenarios. Experiments demonstrate that user preferences for thousands of items can be effectively learned from a limited number of node evaluations. AI

    Spectral bandits for smooth graph functions

    Smooth functions on graphs have wide applications in manifold and semi-supervised learning. In this paper, we study a bandit problem where the payoffs of arms are smooth on a graph. This framework is suitable for solving online learning problems that involve graphs, such as conte…
