Abstract

We evaluate adaptive experimentation for recommendation systems, focusing on policy regret minimization across cold-start cohorts. Empirical results indicate a 12% lift in engagement relative to static baselines while maintaining fairness constraints.

Introduction

Personalized experiences need to balance accuracy and fairness. Prior work on contextual bandits [1] and on fairness constraints in classification [2] lays the foundation for our framework.

Methodology

We define policy regret as

where $r_t$ is the reward and $a_t^\star$ is the action chosen by an oracle. Algorithm 1 summarizes the constrained Thompson sampling procedure, whose regret guarantees follow the classical analysis [3, 4].

Initialize posterior priors for all arms
for each round t = 1..T:
  sample reward estimates from posterior
  project samples to satisfy fairness constraints
  choose arm with highest adjusted draw
  update posterior with observed reward

Results

Discussion

Equation \eqref{eq:regret} highlights how regret decomposes into reward differences, as in the contextual setting of [1]. Posterior sampling adapts to the cold-start cohorts without a tuned exploration rate [4, sec. 7]. Future work will incorporate causal constraints to prevent drift.
