Seminars on Pure Exploration and Active Sequential Hypothesis Testing Course Description

Excited to teach a PhD-level short course at #BostonUniversity: Pure Exploration and Active Sequential Hypothesis Testing. Nov 14–25, 4–6pm.

We will cover Best-arm & best-policy Identification, sample complexity bounds and optimal algorithms.

Interested in #RL, #bandits, and #learning in general?

This is a collection of interesting papers (and books) that I have read so far or want to read. Note that the list is not up-to-date.

Happy to thay that we will also present this work at #INFORMS, at the Applied Probability Conference #APS this year in Atlanta!

In this work we studied the sample complexity of pure exploration in an online learning problem with a general unknown stochastic feedback graph. A setting that was not well studied before in literature.

Thrilled to share that this work with Yichen Song and
@aldopacchiano.bsky.social got accepted for an oral presentation at AISTATS 2025!
