Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose you have a multi-armed bandit problem with two stochastic arms. Arm A has a 60% chance of giving a reward of 10, and Arm B has a 40% chance of giving a reward of 20. If you use the Ξ΅-greedy strategy, what are the expected rewards after a significant number of trials?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate expected values based on probabilities and rewards.

Question 2

In a recommendation system setting, how would you implement a contextual bandit algorithm to improve user experience? List and describe the steps involved.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how user behavior can inform better recommendations.
