What is UCB1?
The algorithm UCB1 [Auer et al. (2002)Auer, Cesa-Bianchi, and Fischer] (for upper confidence bound) is an algorithm for the multi-armed bandit that achieves regret that grows only logarithmically with the number of actions taken. It is also dead-simple to implement, so good for constrained devices.The algorithm UCB1 [Auer et al.

Is UCB on Sky TV?
UCB is one of the largest and most established Christian media charities in the UK with affiliates around the world. Our vision at UCB is Changing lives for good. - UCB Radio now broadcasts throughout the Nation on DAB digital radio, Sky channel 0125 and online. - UCB TV is on Digital Satellite channel 586 and online.
Does UCB1 perform exploration?
An unsophisticated algorithm would continue by selecting machine [0] or [1], but UCB1 balances exploration of machine characteristics with exploitation of the best machine found and selects machine [2]. The UCB1 algorithm is designed specifically for bandit problems where the payout values are 0 or 1.An unsophisticated algorithm would continue by selecting machine [0] or [1], but UCB1 balances exploration of machine characteristics with exploitation of the best machine found and selects machine [2].

How does Thompson sampling work?
Thompson sampling is an algorithm for online decision prob- lems where actions are taken sequentially in a manner that must balance between exploiting what is known to maxi- mize immediate performance and investing to accumulate new information that may improve future performance.
Is Thompson sampling better than UCB?
In particular, when the reward probability of the best arm is 0.1 and the 9 others have a probability of 0.08, Thompson sampling—with the same prior as before—is still better than UCB and is still asymptotically optimal.
