Abstract(in English) We introduce an AISTATS-2018 accepted paper: Efficient Bandit Combinatorial Optimization Algorithm with Zero-suppressed Binary Decision Diagrams (S. Sakaue, M. Ishihata, and S. Minato). In this study, we deal with a sequential decision making problem called adversarial combinatorial bandit problem. At each step of this problem, we choose an action from an exponentially large set of actions; due to its large size, existing methods typically take prohibitively long computation time. To overcome this difficulty, we take advantage of zero-suppressed binary decision diagrams (ZDDs) and develop an efficient ZDD-based algorithm for the problem. In addition, we introduce some papers accepted at AISTATS 2018, and we also report our recent research activities.
