Learning from Aggregate responses: Instance Level versus Bag Level Loss Functions

no code implementations20 Jan 2024 Adel Javanmard, Lin Chen, Vahab Mirrokni, Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, Gang Fu

In this paper, we study two natural loss functions for learning from aggregate responses: bag-level loss and the instance-level loss.

Incrementality Bidding via Reinforcement Learning under Mixed and Delayed Rewards

no code implementations2 Jun 2022 Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, Zhe Feng, Tianxi Li, Haifeng Xu

Incrementality, which is used to measure the causal effect of showing an ad to a potential customer (e. g. a user in an internet platform) versus not, is a central object for advertisers in online advertising platforms.

Learning to Bid in Contextual First Price Auctions

no code implementations7 Sep 2021 Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, Zhe Feng, Guru Guruganesh

For binary feedback, when the noise distribution $\mathcal{F}$ is known, we propose a bidding algorithm, by using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method to achieve at most $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{\log(d) T})$ regret.

Online Learning via Offline Greedy Algorithms: Applications in Market Design and Optimization

no code implementations18 Feb 2021 Rad Niazadeh, Negin Golrezaei, Joshua Wang, Fransisca Susan, Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru

We leverage this notion to transform greedy robust offline algorithms into a $O(T^{2/3})$ (approximate) regret in the bandit setting.

Handling many conversions per click in modeling delayed feedback

no code implementations6 Jan 2021 Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, Andrew Evdokimov, Vinodh Krishnan, Pan Li, Wynn Vonnegut, Jayden Wang

Predicting the expected value or number of post-click conversions (purchases or other events) is a key task in performance-based digital advertising.

Submodular Maximization Through Barrier Functions

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, Amin Karbasi, Ehsan Kazemi, Jan Vondrak

In this paper, we introduce a novel technique for constrained submodular maximization, inspired by barrier functions in continuous optimization.

Lazier Than Lazy Greedy

no code implementations28 Sep 2014 Baharan Mirzasoleiman, Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, Amin Karbasi, Jan Vondrak, Andreas Krause

Is it possible to maximize a monotone submodular function faster than the widely used lazy greedy algorithm (also known as accelerated greedy), both in theory and practice?

Clustering Data Summarization

Resourceful Contextual Bandits

no code implementations27 Feb 2014 Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, John Langford, Aleksandrs Slivkins

We study contextual bandits with ancillary constraints on resources, which are common in real-world applications such as choosing ads or dynamic pricing of items.

Multi-Armed Bandits

Bandits with Knapsacks

no code implementations11 May 2013 Ashwinkumar Badanidiyuru, Robert Kleinberg, Aleksandrs Slivkins

As one example of a concrete application, we consider the problem of dynamic posted pricing with limited supply and obtain the first algorithm whose regret, with respect to the optimal dynamic policy, is sublinear in the supply.
