On the Complexity of Adversarial Decision Making

arXiv.org Machine Learning

A central problem in online learning and decision making -- from bandits to reinforcement learning -- is to understand what modeling assumptions lead to sample-efficient learning guarantees. We consider a general adversarial decision making framework that encompasses (structured) bandit problems with adversarial rewards and reinforcement learning problems with adversarial dynamics. Our main result is to show -- via new upper and lower bounds -- that the Decision-Estimation Coefficient, a complexity measure introduced by Foster et al. in the stochastic counterpart to our setting, is necessary and sufficient to obtain low regret for adversarial decision making. However, compared to the stochastic setting, one must apply the Decision-Estimation Coefficient to the convex hull of the class of models (or, hypotheses) under consideration. This establishes that the price of accommodating adversarial rewards or dynamics is governed by the behavior of the model class under convexification, and recovers a number of existing results -- both positive and negative. En route to obtaining these guarantees, we provide new structural results that connect the Decision-Estimation Coefficient to variants of other well-known complexity measures, including the Information Ratio of Russo and Van Roy and the Exploration-by-Optimization objective of Lattimore and Gy\"{o}rgy.


Artificial Intelligence (7 weeks)

#artificialintelligence

This course explores the idea of artificial intelligence (A.I.) from three different perspectives: scientific, philosophical, and cultural. The scientific perspective provides insight as to how artificial intelligence technologies work, the current limitations, and supposed future potential. The philosophical perspective explores whether A.I. is good or bad, essential or dangerous, and what the future could hold. The cultural angle examines how society views A.I. and whether these views are accurate. Toward the end of the course deeper topics will be introduced including how A.I. compares to human intelligence, the singularity, and futurism.


Karnataka full of educational opportunities: Ashwath Narayan

#artificialintelligence

Except for medical courses, students can get seats in whichever branch of study they want in Karnataka as the State is full of educational opportunities, said Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan, participating in the 20th edition of The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling 2022 on Saturday at Chowdaiah Memorial Hall here. The event saw huge turnout with close to 1,000 students and parents at the event that offered guidance from experts in fields ranging from medicine to engineering to general education and even UPSC and CET. "The gross enrolment in higher education in the State has increased by 6% in three years - to 34% in the higher education sector,'' said the Minister. Listing out the measures taken by the government to improve the sector, he said, "We are competing with the entire world, not with the neighbouring States.'' With around 17 higher education institutions, including medical and engineering colleges, available under a single roof, students and parents were seen getting information about the colleges, various courses, fee structure, infrastructure, and placement.

Using image-guided innovation and microrobotics to improve care of sick children - Womanthology: Homepage

#artificialintelligence

Haley Mayer is a PhD student in mechanical engineering at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Haley began a master's degree in mechanical engineering and part way through this she was able to take an exam that enabled her to transfer to a PhD. Her research as a PhD candidate now focuses on magnetically actuated surgical tools for gastroendoscopy, a test to check the inside of the throat, food pipe (oesophagus) and stomach, the upper part of the digestive system. "Diversity is important in robotics because it touches everyone and everything." I got my Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Guelph, in Canada, where I focused on the intersection between medicine, mechanical design, and biomechanics.


Predicting Possible Loan Default Using Machine Learning - Projects Based Learning

#artificialintelligence

Welcome to this project on Loan Prediction Based on Customer Behavior in Apache Spark Machine Learning using Databricks platform community edition server which allows you to execute your spark code, free of cost on their server just by registering through email id. In this project, we explore Apache Spark and Machine Learning on the Databricks platform. I am a firm believer that the best way to learn is by doing. That's why I haven't included any purely theoretical lectures in this tutorial: you will learn everything on the way and be able to put it into practice straight away. Seeing the way each feature works will help you learn Apache Spark machine learning thoroughly by heart.
