Algorithms for Differentially Private Multi-Armed Bandits
Résumé
We present differentially private algorithms for the stochastic
Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problem. This is a problem for applications
such as adaptive clinical trials, experiment design, and
user-targeted advertising where private information is connected to
individual rewards. Our major contribution is to show that there
exist $(\epsilon, \delta)$ differentially private variants of Upper
Confidence Bound algorithms which have optimal regret,
$O(\epsilon^{-1} + \log T)$. This is a significant improvement over
previous results, which only achieve poly-log regret
$O(\epsilon^{-2} \log^{2} T)$, because of our use of a novel
interval-based mechanism. We also substantially improve the
bounds of previous family of algorithms which use a continual release
mechanism. Experiments clearly validate our theoretical bounds.
