Multiclass Classification using dilute bandit feedback
This paper introduces a new online learning framework for multiclass classification called learning with diluted bandit feedback. At every time step, the algorithm predicts a candidate label set instead of a single label for the observed example. It then receives feedback from the environment whether the actual label lies in this candidate label set or not. This feedback is called "diluted bandit feedback". Learning in this setting is even more challenging than the bandit feedback setting, as there is more uncertainty in the supervision. We propose an algorithm for multiclass classification using dilute bandit feedback (MC-DBF), which uses the exploration-exploitation strategy to predict the candidate set in each trial. We show that the proposed algorithm achieves O(T^{1-\frac{1}{m+2}}) mistake bound if candidate label set size (in each step) is m. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with extensive simulations.

Multiclass Online Learnability under Bandit Feedback
We study online multiclass classification under bandit feedback. We extend the results of Daniely and Helbertal [2013] by showing that the finiteness of the Bandit Littlestone dimension is necessary and sufficient for ba…
Learning Multiclass Classifier Under Noisy Bandit Feedback
This paper addresses the problem of multiclass classification with corrupted or noisy bandit feedback. In this setting, the learner may not receive true feedback. Instead, it receives feedback that has been flipped with …
Online Multiclass Boosting with Bandit Feedback
We present online boosting algorithms for multiclass classification with bandit feedback, where the learner only receives feedback about the correctness of its prediction. We propose an unbiased estimate of the loss usin…
General ClassificationThe Real Price of Bandit Information in Multiclass Classification
We revisit the classical problem of multiclass classification with bandit feedback (Kakade, Shalev-Shwartz and Tewari, 2008), where each input classifies to one of $K$ possible labels and feedback is restricted to whethe…
Beyond Bandit Feedback in Online Multiclass Classification
We study the problem of online multiclass classification in a setting where the learner's feedback is determined by an arbitrary directed graph. While including bandit feedback as a special case, feedback graphs allow a …
