Learning to Rank in the Position Based Model with Bandit Feedback

2020-04-27 · Beyza Ermis, Patrick Ernst, Yannik Stein, Giovanni Zappella

Personalization is a crucial aspect of many online experiences. In particular, content ranking is often a key component in delivering sophisticated personalization results. Commonly, supervised learning-to-rank methods are applied, which suffer from bias introduced during data collection by production systems in charge of producing the ranking. To compensate for this problem, we leverage contextual multi-armed bandits. We propose novel extensions of two well-known algorithms viz. LinUCB and Linear Thompson Sampling to the ranking use-case. To account for the biases in a production environment, we employ the position-based click model. Finally, we show the validity of the proposed algorithms by conducting extensive offline experiments on synthetic datasets as well as customer facing online A/B experiments.

Bernoulli Rank-$1$ Bandits for Click Feedback

2017-03-19 · Sumeet Katariya, Branislav Kveton, Csaba Szepesvári, Claire Vernade 외

The probability that a user will click a search result depends both on its relevance and its position on the results page. The position based model explains this behavior by ascribing to every item an attraction probabil…

Combinatorial Bandits with Relative Feedback

2019-03-01 · NeurIPS 2019 12 · Aadirupa Saha, Aditya Gopalan

We consider combinatorial online learning with subset choices when only relative feedback information from subsets is available, instead of bandit or semi-bandit feedback which is absolute. Specifically, we study two reg…
