We propose a new combinatorial bandit model, the cascading contextual contextual assortment bandit. This model serves as a generalization of both existing cascading bandits and assortment bandits, broadening their applicability in practice. For this model, we propose our first UCB bandit algorithm, UCB-CCA. We prove that this algorithm achieves a T-step regret upper-bound of O((d/κ)√T) sharper than existing bounds for cascading contextual bandits by eliminating dependence on cascade length K. To improve the dependence on problem-dependent constant κ, we introduce our second algorithm, UCB-CCA+, which leverages a new Bernstein-type concentration result. This algorithm achieves O(d√T) without dependence on κ in the leading term. We substantiate our theoretical claims with numerical experiments, demonstrating the practical efficacy of our proposed methods. # 유튜브 스트리밍 예정입니다.
