Active sampling with allocation q_j proportional to p_j to the 2/3 achieves tight regret sqrt(n/T) times norm of p to the 2/3 for known context distribution p, with improvement up to Theta(k to the 1/4) over passive sampling.
Consumers transfer brand-level regularities across contexts using low-D boundedly rational meta-learning approximations that fit choice data better than no-transfer or fully integrated Bayesian benchmarks.
A modular reduction from budget-constrained contextual bandits with adversarial contexts to unconstrained bandits via surrogate rewards, yielding improved guarantees and an efficient algorithm based on SquareCB.
A projection-based algorithm for COCO achieves O(log T) regret and O(log T) CCV for strongly convex losses and O(sqrt(T)) for convex losses by leveraging self-contracted curves.
CAGE uses common-agency games and an EPEC algorithm to compute equilibrium policies that balance multiple conflicting objectives for test-time LLM alignment.
