Trading Vector Data in Vector Databases
Jin Cheng, Xiangxiang Dai, Ningning Ding +2
Vector data trading is essential for cross-domain learning with vector databases, yet it remains largely unexplored. We study this problem under online learning, where sellers face…
HiLoRA: Adaptive Hierarchical LoRA Routing for Training-Free Domain Generalization
Ziyi Han, Huanyu Wang, Zeyu Zhang +3
Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has emerged as a widely used technique for adapting large language models (LLMs) to new domains, due to its modular design and broad availability on plat…
Faster, Smaller, and Smarter: Task-Aware Expert Merging for Online MoE Inference
Ziyi Han, Xutong Liu, Ruiting Zhou +2
Sparse Mixture of Experts (SMoE) has become a preferred architecture for scaling Transformer capacity without increasing computational cost, as it activates only a small subset of…
Semantic Caching for Low-Cost LLM Serving: From Offline Learning to Online Adaptation
Xutong Liu, Baran Atalar, Xiangxiang Dai +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing how users interact with information systems, yet their high inference cost poses serious scalability and sustainability challenges.…
Online Multi-LLM Selection via Contextual Bandits under Unstructured Context Evolution
Manhin Poon, XiangXiang Dai, Xutong Liu +3
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit diverse response behaviors, costs, and strengths, making it challenging to select the most suitable LLM for a given user query. We study the pr…
A Unified Online-Offline Framework for Co-Branding Campaign Recommendations
Xiangxiang Dai, Xiaowei Sun, Jinhang Zuo +2
Co-branding has become a vital strategy for businesses aiming to expand market reach within recommendation systems. However, identifying effective cross-industry partnerships remai…
Leveraging the Power of Conversations: Optimal Key Term Selection in Conversational Contextual Bandits
Maoli Liu, Zhuohua Li, Xiangxiang Dai +1
Conversational recommender systems proactively query users with relevant "key terms" and leverage the feedback to elicit users' preferences for personalized recommendations. Conver…
Offline Learning for Combinatorial Multi-armed Bandits
Xutong Liu, Xiangxiang Dai, Jinhang Zuo +4
The combinatorial multi-armed bandit (CMAB) is a fundamental sequential decision-making framework, extensively studied over the past decade. However, existing work primarily focuse…
A Multi-Agent Conversational Bandit Approach to Online Evaluation and Selection of User-Aligned LLM Responses
Xiangxiang Dai, Yuejin Xie, Maoli Liu +4
Prompt-based offline methods are commonly used to optimize large language model (LLM) responses, but evaluating these responses is computationally intensive and often fails to acco…
Demystifying Online Clustering of Bandits: Enhanced Exploration Under Stochastic and Smoothed Adversarial Contexts
Zhuohua Li, Maoli Liu, Xiangxiang Dai +1
The contextual multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem is crucial in sequential decision-making. A line of research, known as online clustering of bandits, extends contextual MAB by group…
