Scaling Limit of a Stochastic Clustering Model on
Partha S. Dey, S. Rasoul Etesami, Aditya S. Gopalan
We consider an infinite-dimensional stochastic clustering model on . In discrete time, each point of a unit-intensity simple point process moves halfway toward either o…
A Game-Theoretic Framework for Distributed Load Balancing: Static and Dynamic Game Models
Fatemeh Fardno, S. Rasoul Etesami
Motivated by applications in job scheduling, queuing networks, and load balancing in cyber-physical systems, we develop and analyze a game-theoretic framework to balance the load a…
Online Learning for Dynamic Vickrey-Clarke-Groves Mechanism in Unknown Environments
Vincent Leon, S. Rasoul Etesami
We consider the problem of online dynamic mechanism design for sequential auctions in unknown environments, where the underlying market and, thus, the bidders' values vary over tim…
GUARD: Guided Unlearning and Retention via Data Attribution for Large Language Models
Peizhi Niu, Evelyn Ma, Huiting Zhou +4
Unlearning in large language models is becoming increasingly important due to regulatory compliance, copyright protection, and privacy concerns. However, a key challenge in LLM unl…
A Fixed Point Framework for the Existence of EFX Allocations
S. Rasoul Etesami
We consider the problem of the existence of an envy-free allocation up to any good (EFX) for linear valuations and establish new results by connecting this problem to a fixed point…
Dynamic Batching of Online Arrivals to Leverage Economies of Scale
Akhil Bhimaraju, S. Rasoul Etesami, Lav R. Varshney
Many settings, such as matching riders to drivers in ride-hailing platforms or in-stream video advertising, require handling arrivals over time. In such applications, it is often b…
