  • Optimal Regret of Bernoulli Bandits under Global Differential Privacy

    Optimal Regret of Bernoulli Bandits under Global Differential Privacy arXiv:2505.05613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As sequential learning algorithms are increasingly applied to real life, ensuring data privacy while maintaining their utilities emerges as a timely question. In this context, regret minimisation in stochastic bandits under $epsilon$-global Differential Privacy (DP) has been widely studied. Unlike bandits…

  • Sparse Nonparametric Contextual Bandits

    Sparse Nonparametric Contextual Bandits arXiv:2503.16382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies the problem of simultaneously learning relevant features and minimising regret in contextual bandit problems. We introduce and analyse a new class of contextual bandit problems, called sparse nonparametric contextual bandits, in which the expected reward function lies in the linear span of a…
