Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a scenario where you have three advertising options with unknown click-through rates. Explain how you would apply the ε-greedy strategy over ten trials.
💡 Hint: Think about how often you'd switch versus stick with the current best performer.
Create a simulation for a stochastic bandit with five arms where the true rewards for each arm are hidden. Explain how you would implement Thompson Sampling and what outcomes to track.
💡 Hint: Consider how you would keep track of successes and how it affects future probabilities.
