Branch and bound methods which are based on the principle "divide and conquer" are a well established solution approach in single-objective integer programming. In multi-objective optimization branch and bound algorithms are increasingly…

Fairness in clustering has been considered extensively in the past; however, the trade-off between the two objectives -- e.g., can we sacrifice just a little in the quality of the clustering to significantly increase fairness, or…
The quality of enumeration algorithms is often measured by their delay, that is, the maximal time spent between the output of two distinct solutions. If the goal is to enumerate $t$ distinct solutions for any given $t$, then another…
In this paper we propose a framework to analyze iterative first-order optimization algorithms for time-varying convex optimization. We assume that the temporal variability is caused by a time-varying parameter entering the objective, which…
Multi-objective reinforcement learning in robotic domains requires balancing complex, non-convex trade-offs between conflicting objectives. While linear scalarization methods provide stability, they are theoretically incapable of recovering…
We study Pareto optimality in multi-objective multi-armed bandit by providing a formulation of adversarial multi-objective multi-armed bandit and defining its Pareto regrets that can be applied to both stochastic and adversarial settings.…
In this paper, we study the problem of stochastic linear bandits with finite action sets. Most of existing work assume the payoffs are bounded or sub-Gaussian, which may be violated in some scenarios such as financial markets. To settle…
