An Empirical Evaluation of Federated Contextual Bandit Algorithms

1 code implementation17 Mar 2023 Alekh Agarwal, H. Brendan McMahan, Zheng Xu

As the adoption of federated learning increases for learning from sensitive data local to user devices, it is natural to ask if the learning can be done using implicit signals generated as users interact with the applications of interest, rather than requiring access to explicit labels which can be difficult to acquire in many tasks.
