Real-world applications of reinforcement learning for recommendation and experimentation faces a practical challenge: the relative reward of different bandit arms can evolve over the lifetime of the learning agent. To deal with these…

Safe control for control-affine systems has been extensively studied. However, due to the complexity of system dynamics, it is challenging and time-consuming to apply these methods directly to non-control-affine systems, which cover a large…
