目标是 一段时间内 或者一定步数内 获取的期望reward最大。 每个action获得的期望reward为q*(a), 假设我们知道了每个action的期望收益, 那么每次选择期望收益最大的action就能达到目标。 10-armed bandit example, 每个action的期望收益值从正态分布N(0, 1)中采样, 每个action的reward 服从正态分布N(q*(a)

The multiarmed bandit problem is a sequential decision problem about allocating effort (or resources) amongst a number of alternative projects, only one of which may receive effort at a time. For example, we might be allocating the processing effort of a single machine amongst n jobs, or ...
Dynamic Pricing, Reinforcement Learning and Multi-Armed BanditIn the vast world of decision-making problems, one dilemma is particularly owned by Reinforcement Learning strategies: exploration versus exploitation. Imagine walking into a casino with rows of slot machines (also known as "one-armed ban...

2. Multi-armed bandit (MAB) Maximize reward and minimize regret. Allows you to exploit as much value from the leading variation as possible during the experiment lifecycle, so you avoid the cost of showing sub-optimal experiences. Does not generate statistical significance. ...

For example, we demonstrate how a multi-armed bandit can achieve delay balancing (with and without federated learning) and how to schedule replicated packets for short and longer connections opportunistically. A detailed investigation of the impact of low delay with forwarding error correction, 802.11...
For example: optimizing pricing for a limited period offer. In conclusion, it is fair to state that both A/B and MAB have their strengths and shortcomings- the dynamic between the two is complementary and not competitive. Use cases for multi-armed bandit testing Here are a few common real...
There exist other Multi-Armed Bandit algorithms like the ε-greedy, the greedy the UCB etc. There are also contextual multi-armed bandits. In practice, there are some issues with the multi-armed bandits. Let’s mention some: The CTR/CR can change across days as well as the preference of...
