A Safe First-Order Method for Pricing-Based Resource Allocation in Safety-Critical Networks
Berkay Turan, Spencer Hutchinson, Mahnoosh Alizadeh
We introduce a novel algorithm for solving network utility maximization (NUM) problems that arise in resource allocation schemes over networks with known safety-critical constraint…
Directional Optimism for Safe Linear Bandits
Spencer Hutchinson, Berkay Turan, Mahnoosh Alizadeh
The safe linear bandit problem is a version of the classical stochastic linear bandit problem where the learner's actions must satisfy an uncertain constraint at all rounds. Due it…
Safe Pricing Mechanisms for Distributed Resource Allocation with Bandit Feedback
Spencer Hutchinson, Berkay Turan, Mahnoosh Alizadeh
In societal-scale infrastructures, such as electric grids or transportation networks, pricing mechanisms are often used as a way to shape users' demand in order to lower operating…
The Impact of the Geometric Properties of the Constraint Set in Safe Optimization with Bandit Feedback
Spencer Hutchinson, Berkay Turan, Mahnoosh Alizadeh
We consider a safe optimization problem with bandit feedback in which an agent sequentially chooses actions and observes responses from the environment, with the goal of maximizing…
