LLMs Can Design Near-Optimal OR Algorithms
Jackie Baek
We ask whether large language models (LLMs) can design effective algorithms for well-specified operations research (OR) problems. We study inventory control, queueing network contr…
Misspecified Estimate-then-Optimize Leads to Supra-Competitive Prices
Jackie Baek, Vivek F. Farias, Farrell Wu
We study whether simple algorithmic pricing systems can systematically produce collusive-like prices in multi-firm markets. We consider firms that price using a myopic estimate-the…
Leveraging Reusability: Improved Competitive Ratio of Greedy for Reusable Resources
Jackie Baek, Shixin Wang
We study online weighted bipartite matching of reusable resources where an adversarial sequence of requests for resources arrive over time. A resource that is matched is 'used' for…
Policy Optimization for Personalized Interventions in Behavioral Health
Jackie Baek, Justin J. Boutilier, Vivek F. Farias +2
Behavioral health interventions, delivered through digital platforms, have the potential to significantly improve health outcomes, through education, motivation, reminders, and out…
Fair Exploration via Axiomatic Bargaining
Jackie Baek, Vivek F. Farias
Exploration is often necessary in online learning to maximize long-term reward, but it comes at the cost of short-term 'regret'. We study how this cost of exploration is shared acr…
The Limits to Learning a Diffusion Model
Jackie Baek, Vivek F. Farias, Andreea Georgescu +5
This paper provides the first sample complexity lower bounds for the estimation of simple diffusion models, including the Bass model (used in modeling consumer adoption) and the SI…
TS-UCB: Improving on Thompson Sampling With Little to No Additional Computation
Jackie Baek, Vivek F. Farias
Thompson sampling has become a ubiquitous approach to online decision problems with bandit feedback. The key algorithmic task for Thompson sampling is drawing a sample from the pos…
Prophet Inequalities on the Intersection of a Matroid and a Graph
Jackie Baek, Will Ma
We consider prophet inequalities in a setting where agents correspond to both elements in a matroid and vertices in a graph. A set of agents is feasible if they form both an indepe…
