The Value of Experiments in Assortment Optimization

Mohammadreza Ahmadnejadsaein, Amine Bennouna, Omar El Housni

Retailers can learn customer preferences by experimenting with different assortments. However, the cost of each experiment and the operational burden of repeatedly changing product…

AI-Mediation in Retail Markets: Revenue Effects and Assortment Optimization

Omar El Housni, Marouane Ibn Brahim

AI shopping assistants increasingly influence which products consumers consider. We study retail assortment planning under AI mediation, where a retailer chooses a catalog, an AI i…

Two-sided Assortment Optimization: Adaptivity Gaps and Approximation Algorithms

Omar El Housni, Ulysse Hennebelle, Alfredo Torrico

To address efficiency and design challenges in choice-based matching platforms, we introduce a two-sided assortment optimization framework under general choice preferences. The goa…

Matching Drivers to Riders: A Two-stage Robust Approach

Omar El Housni, Vineet Goyal, Oussama Hanguir +1

Matching demand (riders) to supply (drivers) efficiently is a fundamental problem for ride-sharing platforms who need to match the riders (almost) as soon as the request arrives wi…

Beyond Worst-case: A Probabilistic Analysis of Affine Policies in Dynamic Optimization

Omar El Housni, Vineet Goyal

Affine policies (or control) are widely used as a solution approach in dynamic optimization where computing an optimal adjustable solution is usually intractable. While the worst c…
