Pure Exploration in Infinitely-Armed Bandit Models with Fixed-Confidence
We consider the problem of near-optimal arm identification in the fixed confidence setting of the infinitely armed bandit problem when nothing is known about the arm reservoir distribution.
Measuring Human-perceived Similarity in Heterogeneous Collections
We present a technique for estimating the similarity between objects such as movies or foods whose proper representation depends on human perception.
