PG-TS: Improved Thompson Sampling for Logistic Contextual Bandits
Bianca Dumitrascu, Karen Feng, Barbara Engelhardt
A contextual bandit is an online learning framework for modeling sequential decision-making problems.
Reinforcement Learning with Multiple Experts: A Bayesian Model Combination Approach
Michael Gimelfarb, Scott Sanner, Chi-Guhn Lee
Potential-based reward shaping incorporates prior domain knowledge in the form of additional rewards provided during training to speed up convergence of reinforcement learning algorithms, without changing the optimal policies (Ng et al. [1999]).
Experimental Design for Cost-Aware Learning of Causal Graphs
We first show that this problem is NP-hard.

Bayesian Nonparametric Spectral Estimation
Spectral estimation (SE) aims to identify how the energy of a signal (e.g., a time
