abstract

Based on differential privacy (DP) framework, we introduce and unify privacy definitions for the multi-armed bandit algorithms. We represent the framework with a unified graphical model and use it to connect privacy definitions. We derive and contrast lower bounds on the regret of bandit algorithms satisfying these definitions. We leverage a unified proving technique to achieve all the lower bounds. We show that for all of them, the learner's regret is increased by a multiplicative factor dependent on the privacy level $\epsilon$. We observe that the dependency is weaker when we do not require local differential privacy for the rewards.

  1. Locally Differentially Private Thresholding Bandits

    cs.LG 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Locally private thresholding bandit algorithms achieve near-optimal error and sample complexity, matching new lower bounds for small privacy budgets.

  2. The Fair Game: Auditing & Debiasing AI Algorithms Over Time

    cs.AI 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Proposes 'Fair Game', a reinforcement-learning loop in which an auditor's bias criteria, updatable over time, steer a debiasing agent that adapts an ML model's predictions.
