Exploration vs. exploitation in coupon personalization
Personalized offers aim to maximize profit by taking into account customer preferences inferred from past purchase behavior. For large retailers with extensive product offerings, learning customer preferences can be challenging due to relatively short purchase histories of most customers. To …

Exploration vs. exploitation : reducing uncertainty in operational problems
… between performing work under uncertainty (exploitation) and investing resources to reduce the uncertainty in the decision making (exploration/testing). Unlike existing models, in which the exploration-exploitation tradeoffs typically relate to learning the underlying distributions, the …

An exploration account of media multitasking: The exploration-exploitation model to explain media multitasking behavior
This study provides an Exploration-Exploitation Model of media multitasking, suggesting that people’s decision tendency toward exploration activates multitasking behavior, while a tendency toward exploitation keeps people media single-tasking. Moreover, I also propose that intrinsic motivation …

Targeting Seasonal Marketing Campaigns: Rebalancing Exploration and Exploitation
… results in what is classically considered an exploration vs. exploitation tradeoff. This tradeoff is widely studied in online learning domains. However, firms are forced to learn in batches that occur infrequently in many marketing channels, such as seasonal marketing campaigns and salesperson …

Autonomous adaptive acoustic relay positioning
… sites for immediate reward. This is a classic exploration vs. exploitation problem that is well-described by a multi-armed bandit formulation with an elegant solution in the form of Gittins indices. For an autonomous ocean vehicle traveling between distant waypoints, however, switching costs …

Design and Evaluation of a Data-distributed Massively Parallel Implementation of a Global Optimization Algorithm---DIRECT
… to different problem scales and optimization (exploration vs.\ exploitation) goals. Enhanced with a memory reduction technique, dynamic data structures are used to organize local data, handle unpredictable memory requirements, reduce the memory usage, and share the data across multiple …

Cognitive Radio Engine Design for Link Adaptation
… estimate confidence intervals, balance exploration vs. exploitation, and utilize prior knowledge such as communication fundamentals. Finally, the CE learns the radio abilities independently of the operation objectives. Thus, if an objective changes, information regarding the radio's …

Distributed Target Detection and Coverage for Holonomic UAVs
… (PPD), strikes the balance of exploration versus exploitation by maximizing the number of targets covered by each agent. Agents can cover only one grouping of targets at a time and continue exploring until they find an uncovered target. In doing so, agents' search area is …
