KDD 2022
Apple sponsored the 28th annual ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD). KDD was held in Washington D.C. from August 14 to 18. It is an interdisciplinary conference bringing together researchers and practitioners from data science, data mining, knowledge discovery, large-scale data analytics, and big data.
Smooth Sequential Optimization with Delayed Feedback
This paper was accepted at the workshop on Bayesian Causal Inference for Real World Interactive Systems at the KDD 2021 conference.
Stochastic delays in feedback lead to unstable sequential learning using multi-armed bandits. Recently, empirical Bayesian shrinkage has been shown to improve reward estimation in bandit learning. Here, we propose a novel adaptation to shrinkage that estimates smoothed reward estimates from windowed cumulative…
