Optimal Regret with Limited Adaptivity for Generalized Linear Contextual Bandits

1 code implementation10 Apr 2024 Ayush Sawarni, Nirjhar Das, Siddharth Barman, Gaurav Sinha

For our batch learning algorithm B-GLinCB, with $\Omega\left( \log{\log T} \right)$ batches, the regret scales as $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{T})$.

Learning Good Interventions in Causal Graphs via Covering

no code implementations8 May 2023 Ayush Sawarni, Rahul Madhavan, Gaurav Sinha, Siddharth Barman

We study the causal bandit problem that entails identifying a near-optimal intervention from a specified set $A$ of (possibly non-atomic) interventions over a given causal graph.

Fairness and Welfare Quantification for Regret in Multi-Armed Bandits

no code implementations27 May 2022 Siddharth Barman, Arindam Khan, Arnab Maiti, Ayush Sawarni

Since NSW is known to satisfy fairness axioms, our approach complements the utilitarian considerations of average (cumulative) regret, wherein the algorithm is evaluated via the arithmetic mean of its expected rewards.

Intervention Efficient Algorithm for Two-Stage Causal MDPs

no code implementations1 Nov 2021 Rahul Madhavan, Aurghya Maiti, Gaurav Sinha, Siddharth Barman

We study Markov Decision Processes (MDP) wherein states correspond to causal graphs that stochastically generate rewards.

Optimal Algorithms for Range Searching over Multi-Armed Bandits

no code implementations4 May 2021 Siddharth Barman, Ramakrishnan Krishnamurthy, Saladi Rahul

The sample complexities of our algorithms depend, in particular, on the size of the optimal hitting set of the given intervals.

Existence and Computation of Maximin Fair Allocations Under Matroid-Rank Valuations

no code implementations23 Dec 2020 Siddharth Barman, Paritosh Verma

We study fair and economically efficient allocation of indivisible goods among agents whose valuations are rank functions of matroids.

Quantifying Infra-Marginality and Its Trade-off with Group Fairness

no code implementations3 Sep 2019 Arpita Biswas, Siddharth Barman, Amit Deshpande, Amit Sharma

To quantify this bias, we propose a general notion of $\eta$-infra-marginality that can be used to evaluate the extent of this bias.

Fair Division Under Cardinality Constraints

no code implementations25 Apr 2018 Siddharth Barman, Arpita Biswas

In this setting, we are given a partition of the entire set of goods---i. e., the goods are categorized---and a limit is specified on the number of goods that can be allocated from each category to any agent.

Groupwise Maximin Fair Allocation of Indivisible Goods

no code implementations21 Nov 2017 Siddharth Barman, Arpita Biswas, Sanath Kumar Krishnamurthy, Y. Narahari

We also establish the existence of approximate GMMS allocations under additive valuations, and develop a polynomial-time algorithm to find such allocations.

Online Learning for Structured Loss Spaces

no code implementations13 Jun 2017 Siddharth Barman, Aditya Gopalan, Aadirupa Saha

We consider prediction with expert advice when the loss vectors are assumed to lie in a set described by the sum of atomic norm balls.

Online Convex Optimization Using Predictions

no code implementations25 Apr 2015 Niangjun Chen, Anish Agarwal, Adam Wierman, Siddharth Barman, Lachlan L. H. Andrew

Making use of predictions is a crucial, but under-explored, area of online algorithms.
