Kullback-Leibler Upper Confidence Bound

Machine Learning Algorithm

In multi-armed bandit problems, KL-UCB is an upper-confidence-bound style algorithm that is asymptotically optimal: its long-run regret matches the best possible bound allowed by the Lai-Robbins lower bound for that problem.

In multi-armed bandit problems, KL-UCB (for Kullback-Leibler Upper Confidence Bound) is a UCB-type algorithm that is asymptotically optimal, in the sense that its regret matches the problem-dependent Lai-Robbins lower bound.
