Non-Convex Optimization via Non-Reversible Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics

Yuanhan Hu, Xiaoyu Wang, Xuefeng Gao +2

Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics (SGLD) is a powerful algorithm for optimizing a non-convex objective, where a controlled and properly scaled Gaussian noise is added to the st…

Regime Switching Bandits

Xiang Zhou, Yi Xiong, Ningyuan Chen +1

We study a multi-armed bandit problem where the rewards exhibit regime switching. Specifically, the distributions of the random rewards generated from all arms are modulated by a c…

Affine Point Processes: Refinements to Large-Time Asymptotics

Xuefeng Gao, Lingjiong Zhu

Affine point processes are a class of simple point processes with self- and mutually-exciting properties, and they have found useful applications in several areas. In this paper, w…

Optimal Market Making in the Presence of Latency

Xuefeng Gao, Yunhan Wang

This paper studies optimal market making for large-tick assets in the presence of latency. We consider a random walk model for the asset price, and formulate the market maker's opt…

Bounded-Velocity Stochastic Control for Dynamic Resource Allocation

Xuefeng Gao, Yingdong Lu, Mayank Sharma +2

We consider a general class of dynamic resource allocation problems within a stochastic optimal control framework. This class of problems arises in a wide variety of applications,…
