Title: Bayesian optimization for successive decisions with multi-arm bandits

Date: Thursday, October 23, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris Timezone)

Speaker: Jordan Nafa is a data scientist and Bayesian statistician who has previously worked for Game Data Pros, where he has designed and built production systems for Bayesian optimization and experiments in large mobile and console games. He was previously a PhD student in the political sciences at the University of Noord -Texas, where he did not give courses in causal conclusion, statistics and American political behavior.

Description: This workshop introduces Bayesian optimization and multiple bandits. It deals with sequential decision problems, Thompson bodies and multi-arm bandits. The workshop is designed for people with a basic knowledge of traditional experimental design and analysis treatments, such as they often applied in A/B testing, who want to learn about Bayesian methods for sequential decision-making. The workshop contains practical examples of implementing multi-arm bandit algorithms and their generalizations in R and Python with the help of Stan and PYMC.
