Recent work on follow the perturbed leader (FTPL) algorithms for adversarial multi-armed bandit problem has highlighted the role of the hazard rate of the distribution generating the perturbations.
Assuming that the hazard rate is bounded allows one to provide regret analyses for a variety of
FTPL algorithms for the multi-armed bandit problem. This paper pushes the inquiry into regret bounds for FTPL algorithms beyond the bounded hazard rate condition. There are good reasons to do so: natural distributions such as the uniform and Gaussian violate the condition. We give regret bounds for both bounded support and unbounded support distributions without assuming the hazard rate condition. We also disprove a conjecture that the Gaussian

The former corresponds to infimal convolution smoothing and the latter corresponds to stochastic (or integral convolution) smoothing (Abernethy et al., 2014). Having a generic framework for understanding perturbations allows one to study a wide variety of online linear optimization games and a number of interesting perturbations.
There has also been some work on understanding perturbation approaches in bandit problems.
Kujala and Elomaa (2005) and Poland (2005) both showed that using the exponential (actually double exponential/Laplace) distribution in an FTPL algorithm coupled with standard unbiased estimation techniques yields near-optimal O(NT logN) regret in T rounds with N arms. Unbiased estimation needs access to arm probabilities that are not explicitly available when using an FTPL algorithm. Neu and Bart´ok (2013) introduced the geometric resampling scheme to approximate these probabilities while still guaranteeing low regret. Recently, Abernethy et al. (2015) analyzed FTPL for adversarial multi-armed bandits and provided regret bounds under the condition that the hazard rate of the perturbation distribution is bounded. This condition allowed them to consider a variety of perturbation distributions beyond the exponential, such as gamma, Gumbel, Frechet, Pareto, and Weibull.
Unfortunately, the bounded hazard rate condition is violated by two of the most widely known distributions: namely the uniform1 and the Gaussian distributions. As a result, the
People all over the world should remember the Go match between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo. The Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo matches brought about an issue of artificial intelligence. Most people expected that Lee Se-dol could win the match, but AlphaGo won four times out of five over the previous Go champion, Lee Se-dol. In addition, AlphaGo beat Ke Jie, who is the number one Go game player in China without handicap. People need to know there was no advantages for the match; Lee won only one match on the fourth attempt against AlphaGo out of five matches. What if a computer did not make a mistake on Go games? Nobody can expect the results. The development of technology such as artificial intelligence, robots, and the smartphone can make our society convenient,
One of the main features that ensure the protection and just outcomes for all people is the consistency of the adversarial system. This means that each case will have the same features with the examination of evidence and witnesses as well as the ability for the
Harry Markowitz 1991, developed a theory of “Portfolio choice”, that allows the investors to examine the risk as per the expected returns. In modern World, this theory is known as Modern portfolio theory (MPT). It attempts to attain the best portfolio expected return for a predefined portfolio risk, or to minimise the risk for the predefined expected returns, by a careful choice of assets. Though it’s a widely used theory, still has been challenged widely. The critics question the feasibility of theory as a strategy for
One risk of artificial intelligence is that machines can malfunction and not know when to stop advancing on the enemy or distinguish between an enemy and a citizen, and not have a risk of unnecessary carnage. Today’s modern warfare is high-paced, mobile, and technologically advanced. It has been stated that “today’s sophisticated weapons can malfunction, be too lethal, and their speed and effective range reduces reaction time and decreases the ability to distinguish

AI needs RL ideas (i.e., ideas regarding actions, long-term predictions, and decision-making), perhaps much more than it needed deep learning ideas (i.e., ideas regarding recognition but disregarding agent 's behavior and its long-term consequences). There is a serious shortage of RL experts. We should take advantage of that by utilizing as much RL expertise as possible from our in-house experts and outside advisors.

You are choosing between two possible outcomes, A and B. There is an event X that may or may not occur in the future. If you originally prefer outcome A to outcome B, then you should always prefer outcome A to B regardless of uncertainty or certainty of event X occurring.
Evaluating hazard – Assurance fixes the probable quantity of risk by assessing miscellaneous factors that offer rise to risk. Risk is the foundation for ascertaining the premium rate as well.
During this time period, prices for the stocks increase substantially, accordingly reducing risk premium demanded by the traders. Also, shares should amount from 30 to 55 percent of the entire investment portfolio to optimize the investor’s expected profitability. Proximity of the evaluated results to the reality reveals excellence of the myopic loss aversion model (Siegel and Thaler, 1997).
