书籍简介:

This book shows you how to run experiments on your website using A/B testing – and then takes you a huge step further by introducing you to bandit algorithms for website optimization. Author John Myles White shows you how this family of algorithms can help you boost website traffic, convert visitors to customers, and increase many other measures of success. This is the first developer-focused book on bandit algorithms, which have previously only been described in research papers. You'll learn about several simple algorithms you can deploy on your own websites to improve your business including the epsilon-greedy algorithm, the UCB algorithm and a contextual bandit algorithm. All of these algorithms are implemented in easy-to-follow Python code and be quickly adapted to your business's specific needs. You'll also learn about a framework for testing and debugging bandit algorithms using Monte Carlo simulations, a technique originally developed by nuclear physicists during World War II. Monte Carlo techniques allow you to decide whether A/B testing will work for your business needs or whether you need to deploy a more sophisticated bandits algorithm.

书友短评:

@ Junchen 初学入门4星,深入理解2星。Steven L. Scott的A modern Bayesian look at the mult-armed bandit可以参考着看。 @ Greenwicher 多臂赌博机问题入门,容易上手,但都比较浅显 @ nwind 比论文简单,比网上的文章全面,还算比较实用 @ 尼尔森在大乱斗 简洁! @ Marvin 太水啦 还给我讲人生经验 @ 陈子豹 多臂老虎机的入门介绍小册子,可以翻一翻。但是作者代码不太好,有个bug贯穿始终,导致他发现了不该发现的特征。白璧微瑕。 @ crackcell 非常入门 @ 劝你回国 pros:作为一个教材写得很成功,循序渐进,从最初的问题开始,提出解决方案,指出不足,迭代出新方案;解释得很清晰。cons:没有理论基础;作者的Python代码水平一般般 @ Marvin 太水啦 还给我讲人生经验 @ Junchen 初学入门4星,深入理解2星。Steven L. Scott的A modern Bayesian look at the mult-armed bandit可以参考着看。
