Expected Sample Complexity in Multi-Armed Bandits
Sample complexity is a widely used metric in sequential decision-making problems, defined as the number of suboptimal decisions during the interaction between the agent and an environment. We study the sample complexity of stochastic multi-armed bandit problems and introduce the expected sample complexity performance measure, analyzing it in a novel framework called approximately correct in expectation (ACE)....
