주제: Introduction to bandit optimization

초록: Bandit optimization deals with the situations where the decision maker wants to optimize his/her decision while learning about the environment, and the bandit algorithms have been actively applied to a wide range of business applications such as recommender systems, A/B testing, dynamic pricing, etc. In this lecture, a brief overview on the area of bandit optimization will be provided: the issue of exploration-exploitation trade-off, a mathematical formulation of a bandit optimization problem, and some popular bandit algorithms. If time permits, dynamic programming approaches to Bayesian bandit optimization will also be discussed.
