SCOPE: Cost-Efficient Model Selection for Compound AI Systems under Quality Constraints

Yiqian Huang, Shiqi Zhang, Tianyuan Jin +1

A compound AI system consists of multiple LLM modules, together handling complex and multi-step tasks that exceed the capabilities of a single model. Existing systems often use a s…

SteerConf: Steering LLMs for Confidence Elicitation

Ziang Zhou, Tianyuan Jin, Jieming Shi +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit impressive performance across diverse domains but often suffer from overconfidence, limiting their reliability in critical applications. We pro…

Optimal Streaming Algorithms for Multi-Armed Bandits

Tianyuan Jin, Keke Huang, Jing Tang +1

This paper studies two variants of the best arm identification (BAI) problem under the streaming model, where we have a stream of arms with reward distributions supported on $[…

Optimal Batched Linear Bandits

Xuanfei Ren, Tianyuan Jin, Pan Xu

We introduce the E algorithm for the batched linear bandit problem, incorporating an Explore-Estimate-Eliminate-Exploit framework. With a proper choice of exploration rate, we…

Finite-Time Frequentist Regret Bounds of Multi-Agent Thompson Sampling on Sparse Hypergraphs

Tianyuan Jin, Hao-Lun Hsu, William Chang +1

We study the multi-agent multi-armed bandit (MAMAB) problem, where agents are factored into overlapping groups. Each group represents a hyperedge, forming a hypergraph over…

Optimal Batched Best Arm Identification

Tianyuan Jin, Yu Yang, Jing Tang +2

We study the batched best arm identification (BBAI) problem, where the learner's goal is to identify the best arm while switching the policy as less as possible. In particular, we…

Finite-Time Regret of Thompson Sampling Algorithms for Exponential Family Multi-Armed Bandits

Tianyuan Jin, Pan Xu, Xiaokui Xiao +1

We study the regret of Thompson sampling (TS) algorithms for exponential family bandits, where the reward distribution is from a one-dimensional exponential family, which covers ma…

MOTS: Minimax Optimal Thompson Sampling

Tianyuan Jin, Pan Xu, Jieming Shi +2

Thompson sampling is one of the most widely used algorithms for many online decision problems, due to its simplicity in implementation and superior empirical performance over other…

Realtime Index-Free Single Source SimRank Processing on Web-Scale Graphs

Jieming Shi, Tianyuan Jin, Renchi Yang +2

Given a graph G and a node u in G, a single source SimRank query evaluates the similarity between u and every node v in G. Existing approaches to single source SimRank computation…

Double Explore-then-Commit: Asymptotic Optimality and Beyond

Tianyuan Jin, Pan Xu, Xiaokui Xiao +1

We study the multi-armed bandit problem with subgaussian rewards. The explore-then-commit (ETC) strategy, which consists of an exploration phase followed by an exploitation phase,…

Tracking Top-K Influential Vertices in Dynamic Networks

Yu Yang, Zhefeng Wang, Tianyuan Jin +2

Influence propagation in networks has enjoyed fruitful applications and has been extensively studied in literature. However, only very limited preliminary studies tackled the chall…
