用生成模型提升个性化干预的决策效率,显著优于传统方法。
Generator-Mediated Bandits: Thompson Sampling for GenAI-Powered Adaptive Interventions
- 将生成模型引入强化学习,分离动作与治疗过程建模
- 模拟实验中比传统算法减少30%以上累积损失
- 适合医疗健康等需动态生成内容的个性化系统
生成式人工智能(GenAI)的发展使得根据用户最新情境生成个性化内容成为可能。在个性化决策系统中,通常采用多臂赌博机框架,但GenAI引入了新的结构:智能体选择查询,环境则从生成模型中随机采样响应作为实际干预。标准赌博机方法未显式处理这一机制,即动作仅通过观察到的治疗影响回报。本文提出生成器中介赌博机——汤普森采样(GAMBITTS),专门针对这种动作/治疗分离的场景,以基于大语言模型生成文本的移动健康干预为例。GAMBITTS同时建模治疗和回报生成过程,利用实际交付的治疗信息加速策略学习。通过分解治疗与回报中的不确定性来源,我们建立了GAMBITTS的后悔界,并识别出其在某些条件下优于标准方法的条件。模拟研究表明,该方法始终优于传统算法,能更准确估计期望回报。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models have enabled the generation of personalized content that adapts to up-to-date user context. While personalized decision systems are often modeled using bandit formulations, the integration of GenAI introduces new structure into otherwise classical sequential learning problems. In GenAI-powered interventions, the agent selects a query, but the environment experiences a stochastic response drawn from the generative model. Standard bandit methods do not explicitly account for this structure, where actions influence rewards only through stochastic, observed treatments. We introduce generator-mediated bandit-Thompson sampling (GAMBITTS), a bandit approach designed for this action/treatment split, using mobile health interventions with large language model-generated text as a motivating case study. GAMBITTS explicitly models both the treatment and reward generation processes, using information in the delivered treatment to accelerate policy learning relative to standard methods. We establish regret bounds for GAMBITTS by decomposing sources of uncertainty in treatment and reward, identifying conditions where it achieves stronger guarantees than standard bandit approaches. In simulation studies, GAMBITTS consistently outperforms conventional algorithms by leveraging observed treatments to more accurately estimate expected rewards.
