Adapting to a Changing Environment: the Brownian Restless Bandits
In the multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem there are k distributions associated with the rewards of playing each of k strategies (slot machine arms). The reward distributions are ini...

Regret Bounds for Gaussian Process Bandit Problems
Bandit algorithms are concerned with trading exploration with exploitation where a number of options are available but we can only learn their quality by experimenting with them. ...
