Fast pure exploration via frank-wolfe

PA Wang, RC Tzeng… - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the problem of active pure exploration with fixed confidence in generic stochastic
bandit environments. The goal of the learner is to answer a query about the environment …

Optimizing generalized Gini indices for fairness in rankings
