We provide a comprehensive reply to the comment written by Chiara Angelini and Federico Ricci-Tersenghi [arXiv:2206.13211] and argue that the comment singles out one particular non-representative example problem, entirely focusing on the…
We study two problems related to recovering causal graphs from interventional data: (i) $\textit{verification}$, where the task is to check if a purported causal graph is correct, and (ii) $\textit{search}$, where the task is to recover the…
The contextual bandit literature has traditionally focused on algorithms that address the exploration-exploitation tradeoff. In particular, greedy algorithms that exploit current estimates without any exploration may be sub-optimal in…
