Perturbing the Derivative: Doubly Wild Refitting for Model-Free Evaluation of Opaque Machine Learning Predictors
Haichen Hu, David Simchi-Levi
We study the problem of excess risk evaluation for empirical risk minimization (ERM) under convex losses. We show that by leveraging the idea of wild refitting, one can upper bound…
GenAI vs. Human Creators: Procurement Mechanism Design in Two-/Three-Layer Markets
Rui Ai, David Simchi-Levi, Haifeng Xu
With the rapid advancement of generative AI (GenAI), mechanism design adapted to its unique characteristics poses new theoretical and practical challenges. Unlike traditional goods…
Beyond Majority Voting: LLM Aggregation by Leveraging Higher-Order Information
Rui Ai, Yuqi Pan, David Simchi-Levi +2
With the rapid progress of multi-agent large language model (LLM) reasoning, how to effectively aggregate answers from multiple LLMs has emerged as a fundamental challenge. Standar…
Solve Smart, Not Often: Policy Learning for Costly MILP Re-solving
Rui Ai, Hugo De Oliveira Barbalho, Sirui Li +3
A common challenge in real-time operations is deciding whether to re-solve an optimization problem or continue using an existing solution. While modern data platforms may collect i…
Perturbing the Derivative: Wild Refitting for Model-Free Evaluation of Machine Learning Models under Bregman Losses
Haichen Hu, David Simchi-Levi
We study the excess risk evaluation of classical penalized empirical risk minimization (ERM) with Bregman losses. We show that by leveraging the idea of wild refitting, one can eff…
Pre-Trained AI Model Assisted Online Decision-Making under Missing Covariates: A Theoretical Perspective
Haichen Hu, David Simchi-Levi
We study a sequential contextual decision-making problem in which certain covariates are missing but can be imputed using a pre-trained AI model. From a theoretical perspective, we…
Eluder-Dimension-Free Regret for Stage-Wise Constrained Contextual Bandits via Offline Regression
Haichen Hu, David Simchi-Levi, Navid Azizan
Contextual bandits with stage-wise constraints model decisions that must control risk while learning from their outcomes. We study this problem when only the selected action's rewa…
Beyond Covariance Matrix: The Statistical Complexity of Private Linear Regression
Fan Chen, Jiachun Li, Alexander Rakhlin +1
We study the statistical complexity of private linear regression under an unknown, potentially ill-conditioned covariate distribution. Somewhat surprisingly, under privacy constrai…
Contextual Online Decision Making with Infinite-Dimensional Functional Regression
Haichen Hu, Rui Ai, Stephen Bates +1
Contextual sequential decision-making problems play a crucial role in machine learning, encompassing a wide range of downstream applications such as bandits, sequential hypothesis…
