Causal Estimation of Share-Induced Engagement with Flywheel Effects
Weitao Cheng, Yilin Li, Yong Wang +1
Sustainable user growth in online platforms depends not only on acquiring new users but also on reactivating and engaging existing ones through social sharing features. A well-desi…
Experimentation for Different Scheduling Policies on Queues: Mixed Differences-in-Q Estimators Based on Little's Law
Nanshan Jia, Ramesh Johari, Nian Si +1
In data centers, tasks are dispatched to various servers to evenly distribute the workload. When a data center considers implementing a new scheduling algorithm, it typically condu…
Representation-Aware Distributionally Robust Optimization: A Knowledge Transfer Framework
Zitao Wang, Nian Si, Molei Liu
Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) protects statistical learning against distributional shifts by optimizing the worst-case performance over a set of perturbed distribution…
Experimental Designs for Multi-Item Multi-Period Inventory Control
Xinqi Chen, Xingyu Bai, Zeyu Zheng +1
Randomized experiments, or A/B testing, are the gold standard for evaluating interventions, yet they remain underutilized in inventory management. This study addresses this gap by…
Seller-Side Experiments under Interference Induced by Feedback Loops in Two-Sided Platforms
Zhihua Zhu, Zheng Cai, Liang Zheng +1
Two-sided platforms are central to modern commerce and content sharing and often utilize A/B testing for developing new features. While user-side experiments are common, seller-sid…
Tackling Interference Induced by Data Training Loops in A/B Tests: A Weighted Training Approach
Nian Si
In modern recommendation systems, the standard pipeline involves training machine learning models on historical data to predict user behaviors and improve recommendations continuou…
