arXiv:2606. 23603v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Unhealthy dietary behavior continues to be a persistent public health issue in the United States, exacerbated by recommendation systems that prioritize user preference without considering nutritional health.
arXiv:2608. 12302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a formal process to enable non-experts to instantiate and iterate on human-aligned reward functions, i.
Black-box combinatorial optimization requires systematically identifying high-quality solutions under a limited evaluation budget, yet the unknown objective function provides little guidance for deciding where the search should explore next. We introduce SCOPE, a general framework for Synthetic Conditional Objectives for Policy Evolution in Black-Box Combinatorial Optimization.

arXiv:2606. 18111v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fairness is an important aspect of decision-making in multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL), where policies must ensure both optimality and equity across multiple, potentially conflicting objectives.
arXiv:2507. 07339v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Decisions about managing patients on the heart transplant waitlist are currently made by committees of doctors who consider multiple factors, but the process remains largely ad-hoc.
arXiv:2608. 04669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many social services assign scarce resources, such as housing assistance or hospital interventions, to people who arrive one at a time: each arrival must receive a decision immediately, and the long-run usage of every resource must stay within its capacity.
arXiv:2607. 27953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) underpin many real-world decisions, but their exponentially large search spaces make high-quality solutions costly to obtain.
