Ensemble Sampling
Thompson sampling has emerged as an effective heuristic for a broad range of online decision problems. In its basic form, the algorithm requires computing and sampling from a posterior distribution over models, which is tractable only for simple special cases. This paper develops ensemble sampling, which aims to approximate Thompson sampling while maintaining tractability even in the face of co...
متن کاملStochastic Optimization with Importance Sampling
Uniform sampling of training data has been commonly used in traditional stochastic optimization algorithms such as Proximal Stochastic Gradient Descent (prox-SGD) and Proximal Stochastic Dual Coordinate Ascent (prox-SDCA). Although uniform sampling can guarantee that the sampled stochastic quantity is an unbiased estimate of the corresponding true quantity, the resulting estimator may have a ra...
متن کاملImportance Sampling with Unequal Support
Importance sampling is often used in machine learning when training and testing data come from different distributions. In this paper we propose a new variant of importance sampling that can reduce the variance of importance samplingbased estimates by orders of magnitude when the supports of the training and testing distributions differ. After motivating and presenting our new importance sampli...
متن کاملImportance Sampling
We describe an application of using a change of sampling density to get easier access to rare events during numeric simulations (this is called importance sampling). Our emphasis is on the derivation of the change of density instead of the algorithmic details. We work a small example to make the technique concrete.
متن کاملChance-constrained problems and rare events: an importance sampling approach
We study chance-constrained problems in which the constraints involve the probability of a rare event. We discuss the relevance of such problems and show that the existing sampling-based algorithms cannot be applied directly in this case, since they require an impractical number of samples to yield reasonable solutions. Using a Sample Average Approximation (SAA) approach combined with importanc...
