arXiv:2607. 11684v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing contextual multinomial logit (MNL) bandits model relevance-driven choice but ignore the potential benefits of within-assortment diversity, while submodular/combinatorial bandits encode diversity in rewards but lack structured choice probabilities.

arXiv:2607. 09817v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose a framework for the Markov chain (MC) choice model with panel data, including parameter estimation, personalized choice prediction, and personalized assortment optimization.

arXiv:2608. 03142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study contextual dynamic pricing with arbitrary covariate sequences and bounded, possibly nonbinary purchase quantities.
By Xueping Gong, Zhuoluo Zhang, Zhaowei Miao, Jiheng Zhang
arXiv:2606. 16183v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop an LLM-powered virtual population model that simulates demand for pricing decisions, in settings where products are described by rich unstructured information, such as text descriptions and images, and where decision makers need not only mean-demand predictions but also uncertainty estimates for counterfactual prices.
