Competitive ratio vs regret minimization: achieving the best of both worlds
2019
International Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory
We consider online algorithms under both the competitive ratio criteria and the regret minimization one. ...
The combined algorithm guarantees both that the competitive ratio matches that of the base algorithm and a low regret over any time interval. ...
Paging and k-sever The result regarding the MTS framework (Corollary 4) gives a general methodology to achieve the best of both world: guaranteeing a low regret with respect to the best static solution ...

Learning to Select State Machines using Expert Advice on an Autonomous Robot
2007
Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECCS), Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on
Our experiments validate the performance of rExp3 on a real robot performing a task, and demonstrate that rExp3 is able to quickly learn to select the best state machine expert to execute. ...
In this paper, we explore the use of an experts learning approach, based on Auer and colleagues' Exp3 [1], to help overcome some of these limitations. ...
However, in this case the scaling ratio decreases the effect of poor reward on the weight update, and the weight will actually change only minimally. ...

Online optimization for residential PV-ESS energy system scheduling
2019
Mathematical Foundations of Computing
We proved an upper bound on the dynamic regret for ARHC of order O(nT /W ), where n is the dimension of decision space. This bound can be converted to a competitive ratio of order 1 + O(1/W ). ...
We also provide a lower bound for ARHC of order O(nT /W 2 ) on the dynamic regret. ARHC is then used to study a real world case in residential PV-ESS energy system scheduling. ...
The goal is to achieve a constant bound for an online algorithm A on the competitive ratio regardless of T . ...

We propose the use of no-regret based econometrics for bid prediction, modeling players as no-regret learners with respect to a utility function, unknown to the analyst. ...
Still, the simple econometric-based OGD method that models regret-minimizing players has the best performance. ...

pre-print
The goal is to minimize regret with respect to the best solution to the k-means objective (C) in hindsight. ...
We show that provided the data lies in a bounded region, an implementation of the Multiplicative Weights Update Algorithm (MWUA) using a discretized grid achieves a regret bound of Õ(√(T)) in expectation ...
The competitive ratio is the ratio between the value achieved by the online algorithm and the best offline solution (for minimization problems). ...

A Non-Game-Theoretic Approach to Bidding in First-Price and All-Pay Auctions
2018
Social Science Research Network
Assuming impulse weighting in nIBE may lead to overbidding and organizes the effect of end-of-round information feedback on behavior in repeated auctions. ...
Our models, AsP (for Aspired-Payoff) and nIBE (for naïve Impulse Balance Equilibrium), exploit the information available to bidders and assume risk neutrality, no best-responding behavior and no profit-maximization ...
Adding a parameter improves the models' goodness-of-fit (according to likelihood ratio tests) and makes of nIBE(̂, 1), or equivalently nIBE (1, ̂) , the best fitting model in both KMZ and FO. ...

arXiv
pre-print
We show that allocation that takes into account the propensity of ads for viral propagation can achieve significantly better performance. ...
We formalize this as the problem of ad allocation with minimum regret, which we show is NP-hard and inapproximable w.r.t. any factor. ...

We discuss how features of the data center model and trace impact the performance. Finally, we investigate the practical use of predictions to achieve further cost reductions. ...
The agent seeks to balance minimizing this cost and a movement cost associated with changing decisions in-between rounds. ...
Still, one important question regarding the uni-dimensional setting remains, namely, whether there is an algorithmic framework that achieves both a constant-competitive ratio and sublinear regret. ...
