Do LLMs Recognize Your Latent Preferences? A Benchmark for Latent Information Discovery in Personalized Interaction

Ioannis Tsaknakis, Bingqing Song, Shuyu Gan +5

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at producing broadly relevant text, but this generality becomes a limitation when user-specific preferences are required, such as recommending re…

Minimax Problems with Coupled Linear Constraints: Computational Complexity, Duality and Solution Methods

Ioannis Tsaknakis, Mingyi Hong, Shuzhong Zhang

In this work we study a special minimax problem where there are linear constraints that couple both the minimization and maximization decision variables. The problem is a generaliz…

Hybrid Block Successive Approximation for One-Sided Non-Convex Min-Max Problems: Algorithms and Applications

Songtao Lu, Ioannis Tsaknakis, Mingyi Hong +1

The min-max problem, also known as the saddle point problem, is a class of optimization problems which minimizes and maximizes two subsets of variables simultaneously. This class o…
