Best Arm Identification in Multi-Armed Bandits
We consider the problem of finding the best arm in a stochastic multi-armed bandit game. The regret of a forecaster is here defined by the gap between the mean reward of the optim...

On the Combinatorial Multi-Armed Bandit Problem with Markovian Rewards
We consider a combinatorial generalization of the classical multi-armed bandit problem that is defined as follows. There is a given bipartite graph of M users and N M resources. F...

Combinatorial Network Optimization with Unknown Variables: Multi-Armed Bandits with Linear Rewards
In the classic multi-armed bandits problem, the goal is to have a policy for dynamically operating arms that each yield stochastic rewards with unknown means. The key metric of int...

The Non-Bayesian Restless Multi-Armed Bandit: a Case of Near-Logarithmic Regret
In the classic Bayesian restless multi-armed bandit (RMAB) problem, there are N arms, with rewards on all arms evolving at each time as Markov chains with known parameters. A play...

An Optimal Dynamic Mechanism for Multi-Armed Bandit Processes
We consider the problem of revenue-optimal dynamic mechanism design in settings where agents' types evolve over time as a function of their (both public and private) experien...
