Implement algorithms from "SIC-MMAB: Synchronisation Involves Communication in Multiplayer Multi-Armed Bandits", arXiv 1809.08151 #145
Description
This recent article ["SIC-MMAB: Synchronisation Involves Communication in Multiplayer Multi-Armed Bandits", by Etienne Boursier, Vianney Perchet, arXiv 1809.08151, 2018] is really interesting. They quote (a lot) our work on multi-player bandit.
- I should read it carefully.
⚠️ The SIC-MMAB algorithm is far from being easy to understand and implement… I asked Etienne to send me his code, and it helped a lot! - And implement in SMPyBandits their algorithms (at least the first one, SIC-MMAB),
- To do my own comparison against RandTopM and MCTopM,
- And check and verify their claims. (or disprove them?)
