Non-Stationary Lipschitz Bandits

2025-05-24 · Nicolas Nguyen, Solenne Gaucher, Claire Vernade

We study the problem of non-stationary Lipschitz bandits, where the number of actions is infinite and the reward function, satisfying a Lipschitz assumption, can change arbitrarily over time. We design an algorithm that adaptively tracks the recently introduced notion of significant shifts, defined by large deviations of the cumulative reward function. To detect such reward changes, our algorithm leverages a hierarchical discretization of the action space. Without requiring any prior knowledge of the non-stationarity, our algorithm achieves a minimax-optimal dynamic regret bound of $\mathcal{\widetilde{O}}(\tilde{L}^{1/3}T^{2/3})$, where $\tilde{L}$ is the number of significant shifts and $T$ the horizon. This result provides the first optimal guarantee in this setting.

Quick-Draw Bandits: Quickly Optimizing in Nonstationary Environments with Extremely Many Arms

2025-05-30 · Derek Everett, Fred Lu, Edward Raff, Fernando Camacho 외

Canonical algorithms for multi-armed bandits typically assume a stationary reward environment where the size of the action space (number of arms) is small. More recently developed methods typically relax only one of thes…

Smooth Non-Stationary Bandits

2023-01-29 · Su Jia, Qian Xie, Nathan Kallus, Peter I. Frazier

In many applications of online decision making, the environment is non-stationary and it is therefore crucial to use bandit algorithms that handle changes. Most existing approaches are designed to protect against non-smo…

Lipschitz Dueling Bandits over Continuous Action Spaces

2026-04-01 · Mudit Sharma, Shweta Jain, Vaneet Aggarwal, Ganesh Ghalme arxiv

We study for the first time, stochastic dueling bandits over continuous action spaces with Lipschitz structure, where feedback is purely comparative. While dueling bandits and Lipschitz bandits have been studied separate…

A Definition of Non-Stationary Bandits

Despite the subject of non-stationary bandit learning having attracted much recent attention, we have yet to identify a formal definition of non-stationarity that can consistently distinguish non-stationary bandits from …

Lipschitz Bandits: Regret Lower Bounds and Optimal Algorithms

2014-05-19 · Stefan Magureanu, Richard Combes, Alexandre Proutiere

We consider stochastic multi-armed bandit problems where the expected reward is a Lipschitz function of the arm, and where the set of arms is either discrete or continuous. For discrete Lipschitz bandits, we derive asymp…
