Online Learning in Contextual Second-Price Pay-Per-Click Auctions

no code implementations8 Oct 2023 Mengxiao Zhang, Haipeng Luo

We study online learning in contextual pay-per-click auctions where at each of the $T$ rounds, the learner receives some context along with a set of ads and needs to make an estimate on their click-through rate (CTR) in order to run a second-price pay-per-click auction.

A Survey of Data Pricing for Data Marketplaces

no code implementations7 Mar 2023 Mengxiao Zhang, Fernando Beltran, Jiamou Liu

Data pricing, as a key function of a data marketplace, demands quantifying the monetary value of data.

No-Regret Learning in Two-Echelon Supply Chain with Unknown Demand Distribution

no code implementations23 Oct 2022 Mengxiao Zhang, Shi Chen, Haipeng Luo, Yingfei Wang

Supply chain management (SCM) has been recognized as an important discipline with applications to many industries, where the two-echelon stochastic inventory model, involving one downstream retailer and one upstream supplier, plays a fundamental role for developing firms' SCM strategies.

Improved High-Probability Regret for Adversarial Bandits with Time-Varying Feedback Graphs

no code implementations4 Oct 2022 Haipeng Luo, Hanghang Tong, Mengxiao Zhang, Yuheng Zhang

For general strongly observable graphs, we develop an algorithm that achieves the optimal regret $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}((\sum_{t=1}^T\alpha_t)^{1/2}+\max_{t\in[T]}\alpha_t)$ with high probability, where $\alpha_t$ is the independence number of the feedback graph at round $t$.

1 code implementation26 Jul 2022 Chaofei Hong, Mengwen Yuan, Mengxiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, Chegnjun Zhang, Jiaxin Wang, Gang Pan, Zhaohui Wu, Huajin Tang

In this work, we present a Python based spiking neural network (SNN) simulation and training framework, aka SPAIC that aims to support brain-inspired model and algorithm researches integrated with features from both deep learning and neuroscience.

Corralling a Larger Band of Bandits: A Case Study on Switching Regret for Linear Bandits

no code implementations12 Feb 2022 Haipeng Luo, Mengxiao Zhang, Peng Zhao, Zhi-Hua Zhou

The CORRAL algorithm of Agarwal et al. (2017) and its variants (Foster et al., 2020a) achieve this goal with a regret overhead of order $\widetilde{O}(\sqrt{MT})$ where $M$ is the number of base algorithms and $T$ is the time horizon.

Adaptive Bandit Convex Optimization with Heterogeneous Curvature

no code implementations12 Feb 2022 Haipeng Luo, Mengxiao Zhang, Peng Zhao

We consider the problem of adversarial bandit convex optimization, that is, online learning over a sequence of arbitrary convex loss functions with only one function evaluation for each of them.

No-Regret Learning in Time-Varying Zero-Sum Games

1 code implementation ICLR 2021 Chen-Yu Wei, Chung-Wei Lee, Mengxiao Zhang, Haipeng Luo

Specifically, for OMWU in bilinear games over the simplex, we show that when the equilibrium is unique, linear last-iterate convergence is achieved with a learning rate whose value is set to a universal constant, improving the result of (Daskalakis & Panageas, 2019b) under the same assumption.

A Closer Look at Small-loss Bounds for Bandits with Graph Feedback

no code implementations2 Feb 2020 Chung-Wei Lee, Haipeng Luo, Mengxiao Zhang

We study small-loss bounds for adversarial multi-armed bandits with graph feedback, that is, adaptive regret bounds that depend on the loss of the best arm or related quantities, instead of the total number of rounds.
