On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Multi-armed bandits are a mathematical framework for studying sequential decision-making problems with partial feedback. Recommendation, personalization, hyperparameter tuning, and clinical trials are examples of application areas that use this framework. In this talk, I will introduce some basic algorithms for solving bandit problems and show applications of these algorithms to digital markets.
