Background on multi-armed bandits: A. Slivkins, [Introduction to multi-armed bandits https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.07272.pdf], 2022.

The lectures in October and November are based on the book: Foundations of machine learning 2nd ed, Mehryar Mohri, Afshin Rostamizadeh, and Ameet Talwalker, 2018. This book can be downloaded from Library Genesis (the link changes sometimes and sometimes vpn is needed).


Grading formula

Final grade = 0.35 * [score of homeworks] + 0.35 * [score of colloquium] + 0.3 * [score on the exam] + bonus from quizzes.

All homework questions have the same weight. Each solved extra homework task increases the score of the final exam by 1 point.

There is no rounding except on the final grade. Arithmetic rounding is used.

Autogrades: if you only need 6/10 on the exam to pass with maximal final score, it will be given automatically. This may happen because of extra questions and bonuses from quizzes.


Colloquium

Rules and questions of previous year.


Problems exam

December 21--30, TBA.
-- You may use handwritten notes, lecture materials from this wiki (either printed or through your PC), Mohri's book
-- You may not search on the internet or interact with other humans (e.g. by phone, forums, etc)


Office hours

Bruno Bauwens: Wednesday 13h-16h, Friday 14h-20h, (better send an email in advance).
