Harnessing the Power of Federated Learning in Federated Contextual Bandits

C Shi, R Zhou, K Yang, C Shen - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.16341, 2023 - arxiv.org
Federated learning (FL) has demonstrated great potential in revolutionizing distributed
machine learning, and tremendous efforts have been made to extend it beyond the original …

Reward Teaching for Federated Multiarmed Bandits

C Shi, W Xiong, C Shen, J Yang - IEEE Transactions on Signal …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Most of the existing federated multi-armed bandits (FMAB) designs are based on the
presumption that clients will implement the specified design to collaborate with the server. In …

Pure Exploration in Asynchronous Federated Bandits

Z Wang, C Li, C Song, L Wang, Q Gu… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study the federated pure exploration problem of multi-armed bandits and linear bandits,
where $ M $ agents cooperatively identify the best arm via communicating with the central …

Fixed-Budget Differentially Private Best Arm Identification

Z Chen, PN Karthik, YM Chee, VYF Tan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.09073, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study best arm identification (BAI) in linear bandits in the fixed-budget regime under
differential privacy constraints, when the arm rewards are supported on the unit interval …

Best arm identification in bandits with limited precision sampling

KS Reddy, PN Karthik… - … on Information Theory …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study best arm identification in a variant of the multi-armed bandit problem where the
learner has limited precision in arm selection. The learner can only sample arms via certain …

Best Arm Identification with Arm Erasures

KS Reddy, PN Karthik, VYF Tan - 2024 IEEE International …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we address the problem of best arm identification (BAI) with arm erasures in a
multi-armed bandit setting with finitely many arms. A learner who seeks to identify the best …
