# Budget Contextual Bandits

Constrained Contextual Bandits for Personalized Recommendation. Adding budget constraints to a few popular MAB/CB methods.

- Context-Free Epsilon Greedy
- LinUCB [[1]](#1)
- UCB-ALP [[2]](#2)
- HATCH [[3]](#3)

## Install

`pip install budget-constrained-CB`

## Use

There is an example in Jupyter [notebook](https://github.com/HongleiXie/budgetCB/blob/master/example_data/example.ipynb).
