Bandits for BMO Functions

Abstract

We study the bandit problem where the underlying expected reward is a Bounded Mean Oscillation (BMO) function. BMO functions are allowed to be discontinuous and unbounded, and are useful in modeling signals with infinities in the do-main. We develop a toolset for BMO bandits, and provide an algorithm that can achieve poly-log δ\delta-regret -- a regret measured against an arm that is optimal after removing a δ\delta-sized portion of the arm space.
