When More Objectives Make Identification Easier: The Role of Preferences and Feedback

Bo Xue, Ji Cheng, Yuanyu Wan +1

Best-arm identification (BAI) aims to identify the optimal arm using as few samples as possible. While most existing work focuses on a single objective, many real-world application…

Cost-Aware Multi-Objective Bandits: Theory and Application to Budgeted LLM Configuration Evaluation

Bo Xue, Zhi Hong, Jiayi Li +3

Large language model (LLM) configuration evaluation is challenging due to limited evaluation budgets, varying costs, and multiple competing objectives. In this paper, we formulate…
