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 context
  • select_arm(t, context): choose which arm to pull at timestep t
  • update(arm, reward, context): update internal state after observing a reward
  • reset(): 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 distributions
  • kl_ucb_bound(mu_hat, n, t, c): computes the KL-UCB upper confidence bound

Evaluation

Evaluated on three bandit settings (lower regret is better):

  1. Stochastic MAB: 10-armed Bernoulli bandit, T=10,000 rounds. Arms have fixed reward probabilities.
  2. Contextual: 5-armed linear contextual bandit with d=10 features, T=10,000 rounds. Expected reward is a linear function of the context.
  3. 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.
