Sparse Convex Clustering

1 code implementation18 Jan 2016 Binhuan Wang, Yilong Zhang, Will Wei Sun, Yixin Fang

Convex clustering, a convex relaxation of k-means clustering and hierarchical clustering, has drawn recent attentions since it nicely addresses the instability issue of traditional nonconvex clustering methods.

Stability Enhanced Large-Margin Classifier Selection

no code implementations20 Jan 2017 Will Wei Sun, Guang Cheng, Yufeng Liu

Stability is an important aspect of a classification procedure because unstable predictions can potentially reduce users' trust in a classification system and also harm the reproducibility of scientific conclusions.

Distribution-free Contextual Dynamic Pricing

no code implementations15 Sep 2021 Yiyun Luo, Will Wei Sun, and Yufeng Liu

The customer's valuation for the product is a linear function of contexts, including product and customer features, plus some random market noise.

Rate-Optimal Contextual Online Matching Bandit

no code implementations7 May 2022 Yuantong Li, Chi-Hua Wang, Guang Cheng, Will Wei Sun

Existing works focus on multi-armed bandit with static preference, but this is insufficient: the two-sided preference changes as along as one-side's contextual information updates, resulting in non-static matching.

Online Statistical Inference for Matrix Contextual Bandit

no code implementations21 Dec 2022 Qiyu Han, Will Wei Sun, Yichen Zhang

To fill in these gaps, in this work we consider a matrix contextual bandit framework where the true model parameter is a low-rank matrix, and propose a fully online procedure to simultaneously make sequential decision-making and conduct statistical inference.

Contextual Dynamic Pricing with Strategic Buyers

no code implementations8 Jul 2023 Pangpang Liu, Zhuoran Yang, Zhaoran Wang, Will Wei Sun

We first prove that existing non-strategic pricing policies that neglect the buyers' strategic behavior result in a linear $\Omega(T)$ regret with $T$ the total time horizon, indicating that these policies are not better than a random pricing policy.
