Agentic Bayesian Optimization through Surrogate-Augmented Autoresearch

Paul Brunzema, Louis Tiao, Nhat Le +3

Bayesian optimization (BO) has become the standard tool for sample-efficient optimization and owes its efficiency to uncertainty-aware search driven by generic statistical priors.…

Learning Concave Bid Shading Strategies in Online Auctions via Measure-valued Proximal Optimization

Iman Nodozi, Djordje Gligorijevic, Abhishek Halder

This work proposes a bid shading strategy for first-price auctions as a measure-valued optimization problem. We consider a standard parametric form for bid shading and formulate th…

Bid Shading by Win-Rate Estimation and Surplus Maximization

Shengjun Pan, Brendan Kitts, Tian Zhou +8

This paper describes a new win-rate based bid shading algorithm (WR) that does not rely on the minimum-bid-to-win feedback from a Sell-Side Platform (SSP). The method uses a modifi…
