We study the online multi-level aggregation problem with deadlines (MLAP-D) introduced by Bienkowski et al. (ESA 2016, OR 2020). In this problem, requests arrive over time at the vertices of a given vertex-weighted tree, and each request…
Efficient scheduling is crucial for interactive Large Language Model (LLM) applications, where low request completion time directly impacts user engagement. Size-based scheduling algorithms like Shortest Remaining Process Time (SRPT) aim to…
In the Multi-Level Aggregation Problem (MLAP), requests arrive at the nodes of an edge-weighted tree T, and have to be served eventually. A service is defined as a subtree X of T that contains its root. This subtree X serves all requests…
The staggering amount of streaming time series coming from the real world calls for more efficient and effective online modeling solution. For time series modeling, most existing works make some unrealistic assumptions such as the input…
We consider the online resource minimization problem in which jobs with hard deadlines arrive online over time at their release dates. The task is to determine a feasible schedule on a minimum number of machines. We rigorously study this…
In this paper, we consider the online problem of scheduling independent jobs \emph{non-preemptively} so as to minimize the weighted flow-time on a set of unrelated machines. There has been a considerable amount of work on this problem in…
In the field of online sequential decision-making, we address the problem with delays utilizing the framework of online convex optimization (OCO), where the feedback of a decision can arrive with an unknown delay. Unlike previous research…

We introduce a natural online allocation problem that connects several of the most fundamental problems in online optimization. Let $M$ be an $n$-point metric space. Consider a resource that can be allocated in arbitrary fractions to the…
We investigate the power of randomized algorithms for the maximum cardinality matching (MCM) and the maximum weight matching (MWM) problems in the online preemptive model. In this model, the edges of a graph are revealed one by one and the…
In this paper, we consider the packet-level forward error correction (FEC) code design, without feedback or with delayed feedback, for achieving the minimum end-to-end latency, i.e., the latency between the time when packet is generated at…
Important pricing problems in centralized matching markets -- such as carpooling, food delivery and freight shipping platforms -- often exhibit a bi-level structure. At the upper level, the platform sets prices for heterogeneous demand…
We consider the problem of scheduling $n$ precedence-constrained jobs on $m$ uniformly-related machines in the presence of an arbitrary, fixed communication delay $\rho$. We consider a model that allows job duplication, i.e. processing of…
In this paper, we study two variants of the online metric matching problem. The first problem is the online metric matching problem where all the servers are placed at one of two positions in the metric space. We show that a simple greedy…
Online scheduling has been a well studied and challenging research problem over the last five decades since the pioneering work of Graham with immense practical significance in various applications such as interactive parallel processing,…
We study online optimization in a setting where an online learner seeks to optimize a per-round hitting cost, which may be non-convex, while incurring a movement cost when changing actions between rounds. We ask: \textit{under what general…
Motivated by a variety of online matching platforms, we consider demand and supply units which are located i.i.d. in [0,1]^d, and each demand unit needs to be matched with a supply unit. The goal is to minimize the expected average distance…
In this paper, we consider the multi-level aggregation problem with deadlines (MLAPD) previously studied by Bienkowski et al. (2015), Buchbinder et al. (2017), and Azar and Touitou (2019). This is an online problem where the algorithm…
For revenue and welfare maximization in single-dimensional Bayesian settings, Chawla et al. (STOC10) recently showed that sequential posted-price mechanisms (SPMs), though simple in form, can perform surprisingly well compared to the…
In the classical Online Metric Matching problem, we are given a metric space with $k$ servers. A collection of clients arrive in an online fashion, and upon arrival, a client should irrevocably be matched to an as-yet-unmatched server. The…
