CollapsingBanditsandTheirApplicationtoPublic HealthInterventions
Neither (i) nor (ii) are known for general RMABs. Therefore, to capture the scheduling problems addressed inthiswork,weintroduce anewsubclass ofRMABs,Collapsing Bandits, distinguished by the following feature: when an arm is played, the agent fully observes its state, "collapsing" any uncertainty, but when an arm is passive, no observation is made and uncertainty evolves.
ParallelBackpropagationforShared-Feature Visualization
High-level visual brain regions contain subareas in which neurons appear to respond more strongly to examples of a particular semantic category, like faces or bodies, rather than objects. However, recent work has shown that while this finding holds on average, some out-of-category stimuli also activate neurons in these regions.
