The Dueling Bandits Problem
Abstract: In this talk, I will present the Dueling Bandits Problem, which is an online learning framework tailored towards real-time learning from subjective human feedback. In particular, the Dueling Bandits Problem only requires pairwise comparisons, which are shown to be reliably inferred in a variety of subjective feedback settings such as for information retrieval and recommender systems. I will provide an overview of the Dueling Bandits Problem with details of basic algorithmic results. I will then conclude by briefly discussing some recent results in ongoing research directions in applications to personalized medicine as well as theoretical connections to algorithmic game theory.
