I cannot speak for the Mogo team, but it is clear to me that the idea
was simply 'out there' when Mogo started and they had access to it
through the various research communities (Machine learning, Computer
games, etc.). I guess at least one of their supervisors most have had
some contacts with Levente or Csaba. Levente did not discuss
UCB-tuned, so they might have gotten that directly from Auer.
