On the Hardness of Learning from Censored and Nonstationary Demand Open
We consider a repeated newsvendor problem in which the inventory manager has no prior information about the demand and can access only censored/sales data. In analogy to multiarmed bandit problems, the manager needs to simultaneously “expl…

Managing lane-changing of algorithm-assisted drivers Open
Theoretical models of vehicular traffic ascribe the fundamental cause of velocity oscillations and stop-and-go waves to suboptimal or unpredictable human driving behavior. In this paper we ask: if vehicles were controlled or assisted by al…

Delay analysis of the Max-Weight policy under heavy-tailed traffic via fluid approximations Open
We consider switched queueing networks with a mix of heavy-tailed (i.e., arrival processes with infinite variance) and exponential-type traffic and study the delay performance of the Max-Weight/Back-Pressure policy, known for its throughpu…
