no code implementations16 Oct 2020 Péter Biró, Avinatan Hassidim, Assaf Romm, Ran I. Shorrer, Sándor Sóvágó

In Hungary, where such heterogeneity is present, a non-merit-based stable allocation would increase the number of assigned applicants by 1. 9%, and affect 8. 3% of the applicants relative to any merit-based stable allocation.

An Optimal Elimination Algorithm for Learning a Best Arm

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Avinatan Hassidim, Ron Kupfer, Yaron Singer

We consider the classic problem of $(\epsilon,\delta)$-PAC learning a best arm where the goal is to identify with confidence $1-\delta$ an arm whose mean is an $\epsilon$-approximation to that of the highest mean arm in a multi-armed bandit setting.
