Dear all,

With Jack Mayo we are organizing a symposium on recent developments in the theory of bandit algorithms on March 10 at the University of Amsterdam.

Bandit algorithms operate in a model for repeated decision making under limited feedback, with great diversity in applications. They are of fundamental interest in machine learning theory and operations research.


Preliminary Schedule
13.30-14.00 Jack Mayo (University of Amsterdam)
Improved Algorithms for Adversarial Linear Contextual Bandits via Reduction
14:00-14.30 Wouter Koolen (CWI and University of Twente)

Coffee Break
14:45-15.15 Julia Olkhovskaya (Delft University of Technology)
15.15-15.45 Dirk van der Hoeven (Leiden University)

Coffee Break
16.00-17.00 Tentative: Tor Lattimore (Google Deepmind)

Reception

Registration

Attendance is free, but registration before February 28 is highly appreciated via the symposium website: www.timvanerven.nl/events/bandit-symposium2025/


Directions
