arXiv:2606. 18438v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we study a sequential workforce management problem in a contingent labor setting with uncertainty in both worker production and labor supply.
arXiv:2004. 06321v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the sequential batch learning problem in linear contextual bandits with finite action sets, where the decision maker is constrained to split incoming individuals into (at most) a fixed number of batches and can only observe outcomes for the individuals within a batch at the batch's end.
arXiv:2606. 17489v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in edge-cloud inference systems to handle diverse user tasks with heterogeneous accuracy, latency, and cost profiles.
arXiv:2606. 09002v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a stochastic multi-armed bandit problem in which the set of available arms expands over time.
arXiv:2606. 11711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online learning with delayed feedback typically assumes that the learner can track all pending rounds until their feedback arrives.
arXiv:2607. 15229v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop data-driven algorithms for maintaining $N$ independent identical machines under a \textit{block replacement policy}, in which each machine is replaced upon failure and all machines are jointly replaced at regular intervals of length $k$.
arXiv:2312. 15427v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Stochastic optimization is a widely used approach for optimization under uncertainty, where uncertain input parameters are modeled by random variables.
arXiv:2607. 11725v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction moves most building work into module factories, whose production floor operates as a flexible job shop.
arXiv:2112. 06362v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We consider the problem of scheduling in multi-class, parallel-server queuing systems with uncertain rewards from job-server assignments.
arXiv:2606. 19883v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a multi-agent multi-armed bandit problem in the competitive setup with two-sided matching markets under a human centric decision making model.
arXiv:2607. 13546v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mobile crowdsensing (MC) recruits mobile users to perform sensing tasks using their smartphones, enabling large-scale applications such as traffic monitoring and environmental sensing.
arXiv:2608. 09389v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This note aims to serve as an entry point to the literature on learning in games, a topic with significant theoretical appeal and a wide range of applications -- from machine learning and data science to economics and beyond.
arXiv:2607. 23772v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study a restless multi-armed bandit (RMAB) problem for a stochastic deadline scheduling application.
