Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in [1].

Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We propose a new oracle-based algorithm, BISTRO+, for the adversarial contextual bandit problem...Our algorithm is computationally efficient, assuming access to an offline optimization oracle, and enjoys a regret of order O((KT) 2 3 (log N) 1 3 )...Our algorithm and regret bound are based on a novel and improved analysis of the minimax problem that arises in the relaxation-based framework of Rakhlin and Sridharan [7].
