Example of `scikit-optimize` library in Python:

```python

import numpy as np

from skopt import Optimizer

from skopt.space import Real, Categorical

# Define the reward function

def reward_function(x):

# Implement your reward calculation logic here

# This function should take the context (x) as input and return the reward

return some_reward_value

# Define the context space

context_space = [

Real(0, 1, name='feature1'),

Real(0, 1, name='feature2'),

Categorical(['option1', 'option2', 'option3'], name='feature3'),

]

# Initialize the optimizer

optimizer = Optimizer(context_space, base_estimator="GP", acq_func="EI", random_state=42)

# Interact with the environment and update the model

for iteration in range(num_iterations):

# Get the next recommendation

recommendation = optimizer.ask()

# Observe the reward for the recommendation

reward = reward_function(recommendation)

# Update the optimizer with the observed reward

optimizer.tell(recommendation, reward)

# Use the optimized model to make future recommendations

final_recommendation = optimizer.best_params_

```

In this example, we use the `scikit-optimize` library to implement the contextual bandit algorithm. The `Optimizer` class is used to handle the optimization process, and the `reward_function` is where you would implement your own logic to calculate the reward for a given context.

The `context_space` is defined using the `Real` and `Categorical` classes from `skopt.space`, which represent the different features or context variables that the recommendation system can use.

The main steps are:

1. Define the reward function that calculates the reward for a given context.

2. Define the context space using the `Real` and `Categorical` classes.

3. Initialize the `Optimizer` object with the context space and other parameters.

4. Iterate through the interactions, where you:

- Get the next recommendation from the optimizer.

- Observe the reward for the recommendation.

- Update the optimizer with the observed reward.

5. Use the optimized model to make future recommendations.

Let me check Mohammad Imam if this works or not.

There you go: https://github.com/david-cortes/contextualbandits

this is good Engr. Tufail . thanks.

Additional Considerations:

• Recommendation Systems Integration: If you're specifically interested in building recommendation systems with contextual bandits, consider libraries like Mab2Rec. It integrates MABWiser to build context-aware recommender systems.

Remember to choose the package that best suits your needs based on factors like:

• Project complexity
• Desired functionalities (parallelization, specific algorithms)
• Your familiarity with different libraries
