Learning to Sell: Reinforcement Learning for Strategic Large Language Model Agents in Multi-Product Markets

Shuze Daniel Liu, Claire Chen, Jiuqi Wang +2

Autonomous large language model (LLM) agents operating in multi-product markets must make sequential decisions under information asymmetry and resource constraints. We develop a ma…

POTEC: Off-Policy Learning for Large Action Spaces via Two-Stage Policy Decomposition

Yuta Saito, Jihan Yao, Thorsten Joachims

We study off-policy learning (OPL) of contextual bandit policies in large discrete action spaces where existing methods -- most of which rely crucially on reward-regression models…
