In your summary, use numerical citation markers like [1], [2], etc., to refer to the corresponding papers.

Main Abstract:
Standard Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) problems assume that the arms are independent. However, in many application scenarios, the information obtained by playing an arm provides information about the remainder of the arms. Hence, in such applications, this informativeness can and should be exploited to enable faster convergence to the optimal solution. In this paper, we introduce and formalize the Global MAB (GMAB), in which arms are globally informative through a global parameter, i.e., choosing an arm reveals information about all the arms. We propose a greedy policy for the GMAB which always selects the arm with the highest estimated expected reward, and prove that it achieves bounded parameter-dependent regret. Hence, this policy selects suboptimal arms only finitely many times, and after a finite number of initial time steps, the optimal arm is selected in all of the remaining time steps with probability one. In addition, we also study how the informativeness of the arms about each other's rewards affects the speed of learning. Specifically, we prove that the parameter-free (worst-case) regret is sublinear in time, and decreases with the informativeness of the arms. We also prove a sublinear in time Bayesian risk bound for the GMAB which reduces to the well-known Bayesian risk bound for linearly parameterized bandits when the arms are fully informative. GMABs have applications ranging from drug and treatment discovery to dynamic pricing.

Another related work is [1] , in which the optimal arm selection strategy is derived for the infinite time horizon learning problem, when the arm rewards are parametrized with known priors, and the future rewards are discounted. However, in the Gittins' formulation of the MAB problem, the parameters of the arms are different from each other, and the discounting allows the learner to efficiently solve the optimization problem related to arm selection by decoupling the joint optimization problem into @math individual optimization problems - one for each arm. In contrast, we do not assume known priors, and the learner in our case does not solve an optimization problem but rather learns the global parameter through its reward observations.
