Causal Bandits with Unknown Graph Structure

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Yangyi Lu, Amirhossein Meisami, Ambuj Tewari

In causal bandit problems, the action set consists of interventions on variables of a causal graph.

Causal Markov Decision Processes: Learning Good Interventions Efficiently

no code implementations15 Feb 2021 Yangyi Lu, Amirhossein Meisami, Ambuj Tewari

We introduce causal Markov Decision Processes (C-MDPs), a new formalism for sequential decision making which combines the standard MDP formulation with causal structures over state transition and reward functions.

Low-Rank Generalized Linear Bandit Problems

no code implementations4 Jun 2020 Yangyi Lu, Amirhossein Meisami, Ambuj Tewari

To get around the computational intractability of covering based approaches, we propose an efficient algorithm by extending the "Explore-Subspace-Then-Refine" algorithm of~\citet{jun2019bilinear}.

Regret Analysis of Bandit Problems with Causal Background Knowledge

no code implementations11 Oct 2019 Yangyi Lu, Amirhossein Meisami, Ambuj Tewari, Zhenyu Yan

For example, we observe that even with a few hundreds of iterations, the regret of causal algorithms is less than that of standard algorithms by a factor of three.
