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.
arXiv:2209. 04942v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Problem definition: This paper studies the problem of estimating consumer preferences from bundle sales data.
arXiv:2604. 04468v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Evaluating retail strategies before deployment is difficult, as outcomes are determined across multiple stages, from seller-side persuasion through buyer-seller interaction to purchase decisions.
arXiv:2606. 13741v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents the design, development, and implementation of a specialized forecast-then-optimize algorithmic pricing tool for sales campaigns in fashion e-commerce.
arXiv:2608. 12674v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Maintaining price consistency and executing an Every Day Low Price strategy is critical for global retailers.
arXiv:2606. 26787v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional dynamic pricing models in large-scale e-commerce suffer from limited interpretability, poor utilization of unstructured information, and misalignment with long-term business objectives such as cumulative Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), Return on Investment (ROI) and milestone achievement.
arXiv:2606. 06830v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-driven pricing is increasingly prevalent in sectors such as airlines, lending, insurance, and retail.

arXiv:2608. 12680v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Item demand forecasting is an integral component of store assortment optimization.
arXiv:2607. 25068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Routing decisions between a cheap heuristic and an expensive large language model (LLM) are typically framed as a difficulty problem: send the hard cases to the expensive path.
arXiv:2608. 03142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study contextual dynamic pricing with arbitrary covariate sequences and bounded, possibly nonbinary purchase quantities.
arXiv:2607. 09956v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pricing food products to balance profitability with consumer welfare is a central challenge for retailers.
arXiv:2604. 05845v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Auto-bidding services optimize real-time bidding strategies for advertisers under key performance indicator (KPI) constraints such as target return on investment and budget.
