Abstract:
Top-2 methods are popular for solving the best arm identification (BAI) problem.
Lower bounds on sample complexity are matched asymptotically as δ → 0 by the proposed algorithm.
The algorithm is optimal as δ → 0, relying on fluid dynamics of allocations.
Introduction:
BAI problem attracts attention in multi-armed bandit community.
Various algorithms aim to identify the best arm efficiently.
Applications in healthcare and recommendation systems.
Contributions - Algorithm:
