Online Bandits: Exploration-Exploitation Strategy Design
Objective
Design and implement a bandit policy that minimizes cumulative regret across diverse multi-armed bandit settings. Your code goes in custom_bandit.py. Three reference implementations (UCB1, Thompson Sampling, KL-UCB) are available as read-only in the SMPyBandits package.
Background
The multi-armed bandit problem is a fundamental model for the exploration-exploitation tradeoff in sequential decision-making. At each round, an agent selects one of K arms and observes a stochastic reward. The goal is to minimize cumulative regret -- the gap between the reward of the best arm (in hindsight) and the agent's actual reward.
Classic algorithms include:
- UCB1 (Auer et al., 2002): plays the arm with the highest upper confidence bound on its mean reward, achieving O(sqrt(KT log T)) minimax regret.
- Thompson Sampling (Thompson 1933; Agrawal & Goyal 2012): samples from a Bayesian posterior and plays the arm with the highest sample, achieving optimal Bayesian regret.
- KL-UCB (Garivier & Cappe 2011; Cappe et al. 2013): uses Kullback-Leibler divergence for tighter confidence bounds, provably optimal for Bernoulli bandits.
Key challenges include adapting to different reward distributions, handling contextual information, and detecting non-stationarity.
Task
Modify the BanditPolicy class in custom_bandit.py (the EDITABLE section). You must implement:
__init__(K, context_dim): initialize your policy for K arms with optional contextselect_arm(t, context): choose which arm to pull at timestep tupdate(arm, reward, context): update internal state after observing a rewardreset(): reset state for a new run
Interface
class BanditPolicy:
def __init__(self, K: int, context_dim: int = 0): ...
def reset(self): ...
def select_arm(self, t: int, context: np.ndarray | None = None) -> int: ...
def update(self, arm: int, reward: float, context: np.ndarray | None = None): ...Available utilities (in the FIXED section):
kl_bernoulli(p, q): KL divergence between Bernoulli distributionskl_ucb_bound(mu_hat, n, t, c): computes the KL-UCB upper confidence bound
Evaluation
Evaluated on three bandit settings (lower regret is better):
- Stochastic MAB: 10-armed Bernoulli bandit, T=10,000 rounds. Arms have fixed reward probabilities.
- Contextual: 5-armed linear contextual bandit with d=10 features, T=10,000 rounds. Expected reward is a linear function of the context.
- Non-stationary: 5-armed piece-wise stationary Bernoulli bandit with 4 abrupt changepoints, T=10,000 rounds. The best arm changes over time.
Metric: normalized cumulative regret = (cumulative regret) / T.
