Online Conversion with Switching Costs: Robust and Learning-Augmented Algorithms

no code implementations31 Oct 2023 Adam Lechowicz, Nicolas Christianson, Bo Sun, Noman Bashir, Mohammad Hajiesmaili, Adam Wierman, Prashant Shenoy

We introduce competitive (robust) threshold-based algorithms for both the minimization and maximization variants of this problem, and show they are optimal among deterministic online algorithms.

Online Algorithms with Uncertainty-Quantified Predictions

no code implementations17 Oct 2023 Bo Sun, Jerry Huang, Nicolas Christianson, Mohammad Hajiesmaili, Adam Wierman

In particular, we consider predictions augmented with uncertainty quantification describing the likelihood of the ground truth falling in a certain range, designing online algorithms with these probabilistic predictions for two classic online problems: ski rental and online search.

Chasing Convex Bodies and Functions with Black-Box Advice

no code implementations23 Jun 2022 Nicolas Christianson, Tinashe Handina, Adam Wierman

We consider the problem of convex function chasing with black-box advice, where an online decision-maker aims to minimize the total cost of making and switching between decisions in a normed vector space, aided by black-box advice such as the decisions of a machine-learned algorithm.
