Paper update: our recent work on Thompson sampling has a shiny new - and I hope much better - name!
This new name does much better job of emphasizing what we actually do.
Joint work with Jeff Negrea. Thread below!

We've got a major update to our preprint on adversarial regret guarantees for Thompson sampling!
As before, I think this is one of the most important projects I've worked on due to new algorithmic primitives that it - in principle - unlocks.
Thread below on what's new!

ML theory/methods folks: have you found ChatGPT useful as a substitute for Google search for technical questions in cases where Google doesn't give the answer?
It has not worked well for me. Example below.
