Hi all,
We just wanted to briefly share some new work from our lab: check out https://github.com/Nth-iteration-labs/contextual. Robin is working on this amazing [R] package for (contextual) bandit simulation, supporting both online and offline simulations. The package is very versatile; we hope to be releasing a proper vignette and demo soon. But right now, have a look and let us know if you have any comments!
Also, we are pretty excited that Matthew Pratola will be visiting JADS and our lab in the coming months. We will be working together with Reza Mohammadi on BART. Also, Matthew will give a talk (see here for details).
Cheers!
