The Price of Bandit Information for Online Optimization
In the online linear optimization problem, a learner must choose, in each round, a decision from a set D ⊂ Rn in order to minimize an (unknown and changing) linear cost function...

Algorithm Selection as a Bandit Problem with Unbounded Losses
Abstract. Algorithm selection is typically based on models of algorithm performance learned during a separate offline training sequence, which can be prohibitively expensive. In r...

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...
