Better Algorithms for Stochastic Bandits with Adversarial Corruptions

Machine Learning 2019-03-29 v2 Machine Learning

Abstract

We study the stochastic multi-armed bandits problem in the presence of adversarial corruption. We present a new algorithm for this problem whose regret is nearly optimal, substantially improving upon previous work. Our algorithm is agnostic to the level of adversarial contamination and can tolerate a significant amount of corruption with virtually no degradation in performance.
