Transformers as Bayesian In-Context Experimenters: Smoothness-Adaptive Efficient ATE Estimation
Jiachun Li, David Simchi-Levi
Adaptive experiments for average treatment effects (ATE) require randomized allocations balancing valid inference with statistical efficiency. The oracle design is a covariate-depe…
Optimizing LLM Inference: Fluid-Guided Online Scheduling with Memory Constraints
Ruicheng Ao, Gan Luo, David Simchi-Levi +1
Large language models now serve millions of users daily, with providers incurring costs exceeding $700,000 per day. Each request requires token-by-token inference, making GPU sched…
ORLoopBench: Solver-in-the-Loop Benchmarks for Self-Correction and Behavioral Rationality in Operations Research
Ruicheng Ao, David Simchi-Levi, Xinshang Wang
Operations Research practitioners debug infeasible models through an iterative process: inspecting Irreducible Infeasible Subsystems ( IIS), identifying constraint conflicts, and r…
Designing Service Systems from Textual Evidence
Ruicheng Ao, Hongyu Chen, Siyang Gao +2
Designing service systems requires selecting among alternative configurations -- choosing the best chatbot variant, the optimal routing policy, or the most effective quality contro…
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…
