Best Arm Identification with LLM Judges and Limited Human
Ruicheng Ao, Hongyu Chen, Siyang Gao +2
We study fixed-confidence best-arm identification (BAI) where a cheap but potentially biased proxy (e.g., LLM judge) is available for every sample, while an expensive ground-truth…

PPI-SVRG: Unifying Prediction-Powered Inference and Variance Reduction for Semi-Supervised Optimization
Ruicheng Ao, Hongyu Chen, Haoyang Liu +2
We study semi-supervised stochastic optimization when labeled data is scarce but predictions from pre-trained models are available. PPI and SVRG both reduce variance through contro…

Prediction-Guided Active Experiments
Ruicheng Ao, Hongyu Chen, David Simchi-Levi
In this work, we introduce a new framework for active experimentation, the Prediction-Guided Active Experiment (PGAE), which leverages predictions from an existing machine learning…
