Effective Multi-User Delay-Constrained Scheduling with Deep Recurrent Reinforcement Learning
Pihe Hu, Ling Pan, Yu Chen +2
Multi-user delay constrained scheduling is important in many real-world applications including wireless communication, live streaming, and cloud computing. Yet, it poses a critical…
TIPS: Transaction Inclusion Protocol with Signaling in DAG-based Blockchain
Canhui Chen, Xu Chen, Zhixuan Fang
Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a popular approach to achieve scalability of blockchain networks. Due to its high efficiency in data communication and great scalability, DAG has be…
Simultaneously Achieving Sublinear Regret and Constraint Violations for Online Convex Optimization with Time-varying Constraints
Qingsong Liu, Wenfei Wu, Longbo Huang +1
In this paper, we develop a novel virtual-queue-based online algorithm for online convex optimization (OCO) problems with long-term and time-varying constraints and conduct a perfo…
An Incentive Mechanism for Sustainable Blockchain Storage
Yunshu Liu, Zhixuan Fang, Man Hon Cheung +2
Miners in a blockchain system are suffering from ever-increasing storage costs, which in general have not been properly compensated by the users' transaction fees. This reduces the…
Continuous Mean-Covariance Bandits
Yihan Du, Siwei Wang, Zhixuan Fang +1
Existing risk-aware multi-armed bandit models typically focus on risk measures of individual options such as variance. As a result, they cannot be directly applied to important rea…
Incentive Mechanism Design for Distributed Coded Machine Learning
Ningning Ding, Zhixuan Fang, Lingjie Duan +1
A distributed machine learning platform needs to recruit many heterogeneous worker nodes to finish computation simultaneously. As a result, the overall performance may be degraded…
Loyalty Programs in the Sharing Economy: Optimality and Competition
Zhixuan Fang, Longbo Huang, Adam Wierman
Loyalty programs are important tools for sharing platforms seeking to grow supply. Online sharing platforms use loyalty programs to heavily subsidize resource providers, encouragin…
A Deep Reinforcement Learning Framework for Rebalancing Dockless Bike Sharing Systems
Ling Pan, Qingpeng Cai, Zhixuan Fang +2
Bike sharing provides an environment-friendly way for traveling and is booming all over the world. Yet, due to the high similarity of user travel patterns, the bike imbalance probl…
Market Share Analysis with Brand Effect
