Three arXiv papers advance bandit algorithms for machine learning

Three new research papers published on arXiv explore advancements in bandit algorithms for machine learning. The first paper, "Gaussian-Width Bounds for Offline-to-Online Linear Bandits," introduces a new algorithm with improved regret bounds for scenarios where offline data is partially covered. The second, "Accelerating Linear Bandits with Persistent Candidate Sets," proposes PC-LinUCB to reduce computational costs in linear bandits with large action sets. The third paper, "Bandits with Anytime Knapsacks," presents a novel algorithm called SUAK that addresses anytime cost constraints in bandit problems, achieving competitive rewards compared to existing methods. AI

    Gaussian-Width Bounds for Offline-to-Online Linear Bandits

    arXiv:2610.12990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how offline data can help online learning in stochastic linear bandits. We focus on partially covered offline data, where only $k$ of the $d$ feature directions are poorly covered. Existing analyses of algorithms based on p…

    Accelerating Linear Bandits with Persistent Candidate Sets

    arXiv:2610.13407v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Exhaustive optimistic scoring can make action selection costly in linear bandits with a large fixed set of $K$ actions, requiring $\mathcal{O}(K)$ score evaluations per round. We introduce Persistent Candidate LinUCB (\textsc{PC-Lin…

    Bandits with Anytime Knapsacks

    arXiv:2501.18560v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We consider bandits with anytime knapsacks (BwAK), a novel version of the BwK problem where there is an \textit{anytime} cost constraint instead of a total cost budget. This problem setting introduces additional complexities as …
