Corrupt Bandits
We study a variant of the stochastic multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem in which the rewards are corrupted. In this framework, motivated by privacy preserving in online recommender systems, the goal is to maximize the sum of the (unobserved) rewards, based on the observation of transformation of these rewards through a stochastic corruption process with known parameters. We provide a lower bound ...
متن کاملReconstructing corrupt DEFLATEd files
We present a method by which to determine a synchronzation point within a DEFLATEcompressed bit stream (as used in Zip and gzip archives) for which the beginning is unknown or damaged. Decompressing from the synchronization point forward yields a mixed stream of literal bytes and co-indexed unknown bytes. Language modeling in the form of byte trigrams and word unigrams is then applied to the re...

Using a task that assesses the financial cost participants ascribe to harming others versus themselves, we probed the relationship between moral behavior and neural representations of profit and pain. Most participants displayed moral preferences, placing ...
متن کاملEvolving Righteousness in a Corrupt World
Punishment offers a powerful mechanism for the maintenance of cooperation in human and animal societies, but the maintenance of costly punishment itself remains problematic. Game theory has shown that corruption, where punishers can defect without being punished themselves, may sustain cooperation. However, in many human societies and some insect ones, high levels of cooperation coexist with lo...
