The Robotaxi Placement Problem: Minimizing Expected ETA for Stochastic Demand
Ioannis Caragiannis, Kostas Kollias, Mohammad Roghani +2
Autonomous ride-hailing platforms must strategically position idle robotaxis to minimize the wait times of prospective riders. We formalize this as the \emph{robotaxi placement pro…
Efficient Online Conformal Selection with Limited Feedback
Sreenivas Gollapudi, Kostas Kollias, Kamesh Munagala +1
We address the problem of conformal selection, where an agent must select a low-cost subset of options to ensure that at least one "success" is identified at a pre-specified target…
First Passage Percolation with Queried Hints
Kritkorn Karntikoon, Yiheng Shen, Sreenivas Gollapudi +3
Solving optimization problems leads to elegant and practical solutions in a wide variety of real-world applications. In many of those real-world applications, some of the informati…
Why is My Route Different Today? An Algorithm for Explaining Route Selection
Aaron Schild, Sreenivas Gollapudi, Anupam Gupta +2
Users of routing services like Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze frequently wonder why a given route is proposed. This question particularly arises when dynamic conditions like tra…
