New algorithms tackle resource allocation with censored feedback

Researchers have developed new algorithms, RA-UCB and MG-UCB, to address an online resource allocation problem with censored feedback. This problem involves allocating a budget across multiple arms, where rewards are only received if specific activation and budget threshold conditions are met. The algorithms aim to balance exploration and exploitation to maximize cumulative reward, with theoretical guarantees showing a worst-case regret bound of $\Omega(\sqrt{T})$. Experiments on real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of these proposed methods. AI

IMPACT Introduces novel algorithmic approaches for resource allocation problems relevant to AI systems that learn from incomplete feedback.

    Learning to Allocate Resources with Censored Feedback

    arXiv:2602.06565v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study an online resource allocation problem in which at each round, a budget $B$ must be allocated across $K$ arms under censored feedback. An arm yields a reward if and only if two conditions are satisfied: (i) the arm is ac…
